DISCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES AMID ECONOMIC CRISIS – DR. ARTHUR-ANNOBIL

 

Dr. Kweku Arthur-Annobil, Strategic Lead and Business Manager, at Stanbic Bank Ghana, has advised SME owners to manage their resources more efficiently to survive the current economic situation. He made this statement at the second edition of the quarterly Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting held at the Labadi Beach Hotel under the theme, ‘The Current Economic Situation and You: What to Expect, How to Cope, and How to Thrive’.

Speaking on the sidelines of the event Dr. Arthur-Annobil advised Ghanaians to look for opportunities that have emerged as a result of the current economic challenges. He said,

“In the face of challenges and uncertainties, it is important that we look beyond the difficulties surrounding us and discover the opportunities available. If you look closely at your ecosystem, you will realize that these difficult times may have birthed a need amongst people that may become an opportunity for you. Crises drive innovation. Beyond the crises what are some of the problems that you can identify and solve? By discovering and finding a solution to the said problem, you will be able to expand your scope and diversify your revenue stream.”

Dr. Arthur- Annobil also took the opportunity to advise SMEs and individuals to manage their resources efficiently to cope with the current economic climate.

“A number of SMEs have been strongly affected by the current economic crisis. I believe that in this situation it is important that SMEs review their operations and structure their activities towards more efficient options to avoid waste. The current financial climate we find ourselves in does not allow for waste of any sort. One effect of these times is that there are constraints on almost everything. From your finances to your taxes and even your revenues there are constraints everywhere. You need to be as efficient as possible to navigate and survive this situation. The same applies to individuals as well. Think carefully about what you want to use your money for and make sure that you only spend on necessary things.”

Graphic Business/Stanbic Breakfast Meeting is a platform designed to bring policymakers and the business community at large together to deliberate on pressing national issues.

Chocolate Cake for the Soul / My Cure, My Poison

My cure, my poison I want it The lies, the tears, the pain, the tears I crave it Your sound, your touch, your scream, your scratch Making appointments to receive your injection Seeking your love but fearing rejection A desperate search for affection In all the wrong places believing deception Your words like fingers trace my skin But pull me deep into unholy sin Prison doors open but I won't flee Chains are broken but I'm not free Sick of the lies, sick of the tears, sick of the pain, sick of the fears. You're my remedy, you're my symptom My cure, my poison. Sometimes the one thing we feel like we cant live without is the thing that actually kills us. the strangest part is that even though we know it kills us we just cant help ourselves. this piece is just an artistic way of saying I live for what kills me. I don't know if you can relate but sometimes you find yourself in a relationship that is just so messed up that you cant even have a single ...

With this I shield my breast …  ‘In the chest of a woman is not only an extension of breast and a feeble heart but a flaming desire to possess and use power.’- Efo Kodjo Mawugbe. The battle of the sexes has long been fought for more than centuries. Different eras of human history show powerful women who in the midst of men fought to make their voices heard. Even here in Ghana we are told the tale of the brave Yaa Asantewaa who led her people in battle. Although there are quite a number of powerful women in our day, the number could increase by far. This can happen if girls of today are taught their true worth at an early age. In our world today, especially in Africa, girls have been programmed to believe that their highest qualification in life is to become a wife. Sure we do not prevent them from going to school and lock them up in the kitchen as in the days of old, but even as girls are encouraged to get an education they are only encouraged not to go so far or else what tim...
