“We are excited about the Pan – African ambition of CBG and believe that its membership in CWEIC will be beneficial to this worthy prospect” Mr. Gabby Otchere -Darko, Chair of the Advisory Board, CWEIC Ghana, said.

“With the Commonwealth’s combined gross domestic product of approximately 13 trillion, the CBG under the aegis of its dynamic CEO is well-positioned to become a leading financial player in Africa and the Commonwealth,” said Mr. John Obeng Apea, Head of Mission, CWEIC Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon
