DBG commemorates first anniversary 

Development Bank Ghana has commemorated its first anniversary with a thanksgiving service and a call on its partners and staff to continue to work together for greater success after its foundation-building first year.

The non-denominational service which was held last Friday, 11 November 2022, marked exactly one year since the new development bank received its banking licence from the Bank of Ghana.

It was attended by the leadership and staff of the Bank, Managing Directors and other representatives of their partner institutions including Kreditanstalt Für Wiederaufbau (KfW), Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG), CalBank, Access Bank, Ghana Incentive-based Risk-sharing System for Agricultural Lending (GIRSAL), Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) and Fidelity Bank.

Preaching the sermon, the Rt. Rev. Fr. Anthony Afriyie-Amponsah of the University of Ghana shared a message on the need for each member of staff to contribute significantly towards the Bank’s goal.

He called for teamwork, discipline and appreciation for the efforts made and results achieved by staff. He challenged the staff and the Bank’s partners to work together in unity, focused on delivering DBG’s agenda and prayed for God’s guidance for the Bank’s leadership.

According to its laid-out agenda, DBG’s first year has been devoted to building the required foundation for effectively undertaking its mandate of playing the role of a catalyst for the growth of the private sector, specifically Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

He also congratulated the staff of DBG for a successful first year and stressed the need to continue to work efficiently together. He added that DBG was introduced during difficult times however it was exactly for such challenging times that a catalyst for growth is needed.

He explained that the Bank has, in spite of the challenging environment, put in place a solid foundation in its first year on the back of which it will be rolling out more partnerships with SME-focused institutions and a lending programme which also includes technical support.

He concluded by saying that “we are filled with hope and positivity for the years ahead but once again I would like to say that success can only be possible if we work together and remain committed to doing it differently. Let us win together with God on our side.”
