between Africa and the world. Nearly
eight years aer incepon and with
clients inmore than 120 countries, I invite

together with you.
I am also honoured to announce that Naonal Bank of Canada (NBC) has acquired an addional
8% shareholding in AfrAsia Bank, bringing its total equity stake to 17.5%. NBC, being now AfrAsia
Bank’s second largest shareholder, marks thus a decisive step in our connued expansion both in

children’s welfare as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility programmes, we have launched
the AfrAsia Golf Academy in collaboraon with Ti-Rayon Soleil and Maurius Golf Federaon.
