ACCRA (Reuters) - Access Bank Ghana shareholders have approved a programme of capital raising via bonds and rights issues worth 450 million cedis ($100 mln), the bank said on Tuesday.
This would include a 300 million cedi rights issue and a bond issue worth 150 million cedis, the bank said.
The move was in response to new requirements by Ghana’s central bank that banks meet a stricter minimum capital requirement by the end of December next year.
