In her speech, she reminded member banks of the need to be cognisant of the unprecedented and extremely challenging times currently and ahead brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. And she said, “But it is also about reminding ourselves that the crisis has also unravelled silver linings, ranging from personal/family aspects, to environmental, as well as business and commerce reconfigurations”.

At the AGM, the current set of 6-EXCO member banks was unanimously re-elected to serve another 2-year term from 2020/2021 to 2021/2022.
