However, the lender\u2019s shares were sold at 780\/- on DSE yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The right issue offers one extra share to every existing share, meaning a ratio of one to one (1:1).<\/p>\n<p>The chairperson said the purpose of selling shares to existing shareholders was to increase the lender\u2019s capital and facilitate investment in the expansion of banking services through the opening of branches, investment in information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>MKCB had a capital of 9.37bn\/- at the end of last November, which was not sufficient to warrant business expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the bank, which the Catholic Church is the majority shareholders, boosts a market capitalisation of 16.08bn\/-. Its shares are hardly trades on the exchange.<\/p>\n<p>It has a healthy balance sheet of 220bn\/- while customer deposits amounted to 180bn\/- at the end of November last year.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Chijoriga said the bank aimed at providing quality financial services to all sectors of the economy in a sustainable and responsible manner in society to meet customer expectations.<\/p>\n<p>MCKB operates in eight regions with 11 branches &#8211; four branches are in Dar es Salaam and one each in Kilimanjaro, Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Mwanza, Kagera and Dodoma regions.<\/p>\n<p>The bank wants to expand business and reach out to more customers, especially in rural areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
