Mr. Chairman, I am happy to say that the banks, together with the Bank of Ghana, have agreed to set up an Equity Fund dedicated to developing this sector – particularly the rice, maize and poultry sub-sectors. We look forward to the Equity Fund becoming operational in 2015.
Conclusion In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, the relatively unfriendly macroeconomic conditions that existed in the first half of the year is seeing a turnaround. On the real sector, even though energy sector challenges adversely impacted economic activity, the latest business and consumer surveys point to improvements in both business and consumer sentiments.
