According to the report, as at August 1, 2018, when the license of Sovereign Bank was revoked, the bank’s total asset was GHC191 million.

Out of this, the bank had cash of Ghc23, 496 million. The remaining Ghc98, 370 million were loans and other securities representing 73% of the banks total assets.

Royal Bank

Royal Bank had an asset of Ghc376 million. Out of this, loans and other securities constituted 56% of the bank’s total assets. The receiver attributed the high percentage of loans to the bank’s non-adherence to credit administration policies and inadequacies in recovery efforts
