Ecobank Ghana has launched an initiative to offer Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) preferential support in products and services.

The initiative also serves as a platform for adding value to SMEs through information sharing, networking, capacity building and access to markets and finance.

The Managing Director of the bank, Samuel Ashitey-Adjei, noted that SMEs were the bedrock of all economies in the world - developed or developing.

The world over, they contribute significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, foreign exchange generation and to employment creation.
