Mansa Nettey highlighted the many projects and initiatives the Bank continues to undertake to support national development when the Management team of the bank paid a courtesy call on President Nana Akufo-Addo.
“The private sector is an area we are looking to grow. We are looking at supporting them and we’ve carved out a very special unit mainly because of the importance of the SME, she said.”

“I am excited to be handing over to another Ghanaian who also is the first woman to head the Bank in its 120 year history in the country. It is a rare honour.
"With her extensive business experience and depth of client relationships, I am confident that the Bank will continue to consistently deliver value to shareholders,” Mr Bedu-Addo who was the bank's first Ghanaian CEO said.
On her part, newly appointed Chief Executive, Mansa Nettey, mentioned that she is particularly honoured to head the Bank at this time and commended the President’s decision to appoint women to key positions in his administration.
