Chairman Bojang highlighted their achievements so far with lots to achieve in the future.<\/p>\n

Thus no institution can function without proper guidance; he said they have taken the task of reviewing and creating policies to ensure smooth operations at their Credit Union. \u201cWe are thrilled to announce that several important policy documents have been reviewed and ratified during a three-day retreat,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

As the operations of the Credit Union are becoming more and more electronic, he noted of its need to digitize paper documents by scanning and having digital copies of them.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the union, therefore he sought the support of MRCG Management once more to help in achieving this through the guidance of the Archives Department.<\/p>\n

Saidina Ceesay, Treasurer of the union presented the financial results for the year ended 31st December 2022. These financial statements have been audited and certified by their independent external auditors, HAD & CO., he disclosed to the gathering.<\/p>\n

Overall the total value of the total value of the credit union grew by 5% over 2021 to GMD136, 291,807.<\/p>\n

The unpredictability of the global economy and financial markets represents a concentration risk that could negatively impact financial performance in the event of market shocks or interest rate crashes.<\/p>\n

He added that whilst the savings to asset ratio was 82% despite the respective maximum compliance level for both being 80% as per regulation, the CFF investment to saving ratio was 7% whilst the regulation stipulates a minimum of 10%.<\/p>\n
