SPEECHES
Speech by Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama at the Commemoration of 50 Years of Rural Banking and the Conversion to Community Banking
In 1976, in Nyakrom, in the Central Region, something happened in this country for the first time. A community opened a bank. Not a branch of somebody else’s bank. Its own. That is what we are here to mark. Everything else, the fifty years, the 147 institutions, the eight million customers, grew out of that one decision, in one town, in the Central Region.
