For the second consecutive year, Ecobank will not distribute dividends to its shareholders present in Lomé this Thursday for the 31st general meeting of the group.
According to the Chairman of the Board, Emmanuel Ikazoboh, this decision is made necessary by « factors such as the new regulatory capital requirements to which the group is subject, and the need to establish a liquidity buffer for the holding company » .
