“This expansion represents an important milestone towards establishing a railroad in Namibia for intra-African trade within the Southern African region, Africa, and the rest of the world. It cements our commitment to building a robust Southern African banking network to deliver shared prosperity and advance financial inclusion, thereby empowering many to achieve their dreams.

“Our entry into the Namibian market also represents a pivotal step in our broader ambition to build a strong global franchise and will unlock new opportunities for businesses and individuals alike. We look forward to partnering with local stakeholders to drive innovation, empower communities, and contribute meaningfully to the prosperity of the region,” the report by Punch newspaper on Wednesday quoted Ogbonna as saying.

According to him, the bank’s operations in Namibia will stimulate the local economy and reinforce its position as a leading regional player.
