COVID-19: Gov't to give GHS600m loan to MSMEs

This will be done in collaboration with the National Board for Small Scale Industries, Business and Trade Associations as well as selected commercial and rural banks.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the facility will lessen the negative impact of the coronavirus outbreak on businesses.
