Critical Role of Banks and Financial Institutions In Financing Growth

The Chair of the Awards Committee, Omar Ben Yedder, in his speech, acknowledged the critical role of banks and financial institutions in financing growth, especially amid the retreat of international banks from the continent.

“We are seeing a coalition of DFIs taking shape and these will have to see considerable capital increases to plug the gap in infrastructure, trade, climate, and also SME financing. We are also seeing further reform and new capital requirements for banks. This will lead to bigger banks and we have seen how the likes of UBA play a role in financing big conglomerates and large infrastructure projects, something unimaginable two decades ago.”

Omar Ben Yedder

This award from the African Banker Magazine is a testament to UBA’s strategic vision and its effective execution.
