Going into the second half of the year 2023, we continue to see emerging opportunities across all our business entities especially as new political dispensations settle in across the country. We are uniquely positioned to work with all agencies of government to implement the economic development objectives in line with the policy direction of the new administration which leans heavily on the capital markets and financial services industry.

We will navigate the undulating business landscape in the remaining half of the year by harnessing opportunities that economic reforms will present to the financial services sector towards increasing value delivery to all shareholders”.
