The bank has given a USD 30-million credit to a rehabilitation and upgrade of potable water system in Yendi, and USD 150 million to strengthen agriculture mechanization service centres across the West African nation, a statement said on Tuesday.

With these agreements, the Exim Bank has so far extended nine LoCs to Ghana worth USD 388.26 million.

The bank has extended lines of credit to Ghana for projects which included rural electrification, agriculture and transportation, construction of a new presidential office, railheads and agro and fish processing plants, waste management support, sugarcane development and irrigation.

The bank has now in place 248 LoCs, covering 63 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Commonwealth of Independent States countries, with credit commitments of around USD 24.46 billion.
