Indeed, in addition to improving our double leverage ratio, it is also a good boost for the firm and its staff”.

On the other hand, the Chief Executive Officer of Arise, Deepak Malik said: ‘’ETI is our primary banking investment in Francophone West Africa and Anglophone West Africa. We are very supportive of ETI’s growth ambitions and its ability to increase financial services to Agri, SMEs & retail customers. Our investment will also strengthen the balance sheet of ETI and provide additional risk capital”.
