For this reason, more funds have been retained enabling the bank to enhance delivery of services.
Already, profit margins for 2023 have leaped following the reinvestment of the previous year’s profit.
Chief Executive Officer, Abraham Coffie explained that “In terms of shareholders’ funds, the reserves are going to improve, more funds are going to be retained in the company for us to use as capital”.
He spoke on the sidelines of the Bank’s Annual General Meeting.
In 2022, the Bank realised profit before tax of 4.6 million, a 15.2 percent increase above the previous year.
The full amount was re-invested in the financial institution to improve shareholders’ reserves to enhance liquidity for 2023.
