Return on Equity (ROE)  increased to 45 percent and Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is 27.7 percent well above the regulatory threshold of 10 percent. Given the Bank’s capital position, the Bank has received regulatory approval to pay dividends and will advise shareholders in due course.  

Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ebenezer Twum Asante, addressing shareholders said, “The various strategic actions we initiated to improve the resilience of our business to external shocks, such as tightening our risk and control measures, have positively impacted our results.  We will continue to harness our key capabilities and the opportunities they present to deliver value in a strong safe, sustainable manner”.

Alongside the importance of delivering improved financial performance, the bank’s Purpose and brand promise to be here for good remain cornerstones of the business. The bank continues to support its clients and communities as they anticipate and respond to economic and social challenges. This is possible through the bank’s Stands – Accelerating Zero, Resetting  Globalisation, and Lifting Participation – through which positive impact is delivered across the country.  

Commenting on the impact the bank is making in the country, Chief Executive, Mansa Nettey emphasized the importance of collaborating to deliver impactful scalable interventions to support the vulnerable in society during challenging economic periods.

She said, “The world continues to experience some evolving trends including technological advancements,  geopolitics, and climate change. While these changes continuously trigger country and international policy shifts, the private sector remains in a good position to shape national and global discourse that will help sustain our economies and communities”.
