Stanbic Bank Ghana has hosted a diaspora engagement event, bringing together some individuals from the diaspora who have expressed strong interest in investing and settling in Ghana.
The interactive session, held in collaboration
with the Pan-African Leadership Institute (PALI), served as a platform to forge
relationships, share insights, and explore opportunities for mutual growth.
Head of Affluent Clients, Mrs. Margaret
Obimpeh, emphasized the bank’s commitment to supporting the diaspora community.
“This session allowed us to connect with individuals eager to integrate into
Ghana’s economy. As a financial institution, we are exploring how we can
partner with them to facilitate their settlement and investment plans. We see
untapped opportunities in this space and are committed to creating solutions
that will enable these individuals to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s
development,” she said.
She further noted that the bank would use
insights from the engagement to collaborate with key stakeholders, aiming to
address the unique challenges faced by the diaspora community in navigating
Ghana’s economic landscape.
Speaking on the bank’s broader capabilities,
the Head of International Private Banking and Diaspora Banking, Mr. Nana
Owiredu-Gyamera, highlighted Stanbic’s extensive experience in providing
financial solutions. “With over 160 years of experience and a presence in 18
African countries, Stanbic Bank is well-equipped to meet the personal and
business needs of our clients. From current accounts and savings to business
solutions and foreign exchange services, we are dedicated to supporting the
financial aspirations of the diaspora community,” he said.
On his part, the President and Co-Founder of
PALI, Dr. Kofi Osei-Kusi, commended Stanbic’s exceptional role in the banking
sector. According to him, the Institute aims to collaborate with the bank
to engage with leaders in the diaspora who have a strong interest in Africa but
are unsure where to start. He believed that by working together, they can
bridge the gap and bring these leaders closer to the continent.
“We’re excited about the reception and the
warmth that we’ve had, and we look forward to collaborating with Stanbic Bank
to be able to engage with leaders in the diaspora. So many of whom have great
interest in Africa but don’t know where to start from. We believe that together
with Stanbic Bank we would be able to bring these leaders closer to the
continent,” he said.
