The Ghana Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) is targeting global markets for Ghanaian-made garments through the development of an industrial park in Weta, located in the Volta Region. This initiative, spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama, aims to bolster Ghana's manufacturing sector and enhance the country's export potential.

EXIM Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Sylvester Adinam Mensah, stated that the project is a strategic investment in industrialization, local production and export development. In addition to job creation, the industrial park is expected to generate around 10,000 employment opportunities. Mensah emphasized the bank's commitment to translating the President's vision into tangible economic opportunities by supporting local industries and strengthening productive capacity.

The Hogbetsotso Festival in Anloga marked the announcement of this project, with the event celebrated under the theme: "Anlo, Our Heritage and Our Values: Striving to Build One Ghana for a Better Tomorrow."
