Institutional Profile

Ghana Export-Import Bank, GEXIM, is a statutory development finance institution established under the Ghana Export-Import Bank Act, 2016, Act 911. The Bank supports the Government of Ghana’s export development and import-substitution objectives by providing financing, guarantees and related financial support to eligible businesses operating in Ghana’s productive and export-oriented sectors.

GEXIM’s activities are directed towards expanding Ghana’s export capacity, improving foreign-exchange earnings, supporting industrial development and reducing dependence on imported goods. The Bank operates within a governance, regulatory and risk-management framework designed to ensure that its resources are deployed in accordance with its statutory mandate.

GEXIM is a development finance institution rather than a conventional commercial bank, and its objectives, funding sources and performance measures should be understood in that context.
