The
Group Chief Executive Officer of Letshego, Reinette van der Merwe has led a
delegation to Development Bank Ghana (DBG) for a courtesy visit, joined by Nii
Amankra Tetteh, CEO of Letshego Ghana, and other team members.
The
meeting, hosted by DBG’s leadership, including Deputy CEOs Michael Mensah-Baah
and John Zigah, Chief Risk Officer Pamela Ankoh, and Chief Economist Eric
Osei-Assibey, focused on the growing collaboration between the two
institutions.
Since
Letshego Ghana became a Partner Financial Institution with DBG in October 2024,
the partnership has seen over GHS 150 million on-lent through Letshego, with a
significant portion allocated to climate-related investments. DBG has also
supported Letshego through targeted capacity-building initiatives, including
technical assistance from CapitalPlus Exchange (CapPlus), enabling expansion
into new sectors for long-term capital impact.
Both
institutions outlined plans for 2026 to scale climate financing, deepen
collaboration, and leverage the upcoming DBG Climate Fund to increase access to
long-term finance for SMEs across Ghana.
