"We are committed to developing the country's SMEs sector," BoA Tanzania's Managing Director, Mr Ammish Owusu-Amoah is quoted by a media report on Thursday. He added that it is SMEs that ultimately leads to big businesses in any country.

During a breakfast meeting prepared by the bank for its SMEs clients in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, he said getting first hand information from SMEs about challenges and concerns would help the bank to improve its services.
