Indigenous financial entity, GN bank, is set to be listed at the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) in 2017.
According to the President of Groupe Nduom, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, the move is to grant Ghanaians the opportunity to own shares in the fast growing domestic bank, which is a subsidiary of Groupe Nduom.
Dr. Nduom said putting the bank on the GSE will set it on the path of becoming the biggest bank with the capacity to propel the economic transformation of the country.
“Our dream is that, some day if there is a financial problem in Ghana, we will not run to America or the IMF for support. But we should run to a Ghanaian bank and we want that bank to be GN bank,” Dr. Nduom disclosed at the opening of GN bank branch at Tsito in the Ho West district of the Volta region.
He emphasized the need for wholly-owned Ghanaian entities to drive the nation’s economic transformational agenda instead of leaving it in the hands of foreign-owned entities.
“If this country will progress, if our economy will improve, it is not someone from outside who will do it for us. It has to be us, Ghanaians who have to do it ourselves. Our objective is to make GN bank the biggest bank owned by Ghanaians.”
The new branch brings to 17 the number of GN bank branches in the Volta region, with 6 more to be opened by close of 2016.
GN bank which has the objective of bringing reliable banking services to the doorsteps of every Ghanaians is currently present in 260 locations nationwide.
