The head of government, Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, met, on July 5, 2022, at the Primature with Mr. Guy Martial Awona, general manager of Orabank-Togo. The latter went to tell him of his bank’s ambitions for the country’s development and above all to reiterate the availability of the Orabank group in general, to support government actions.
At the end of the hearing, Mr. Guy Martial Awona, said he had discussed with the Prime Minister the financing for the recovery of the post-Covid economy, mainly in sensitive areas such as agriculture and financial inclusion. ” I came for a courtesy visit to the Prime Minister. I told him regarding the ambitions of the Orabank group for the country. We lost this habit with the health crisis linked to Covid-19. I reiterated the availability of Orabank Togo and Ora Groupe in general, to support government actions. We discussed several points, mainly the financing of the economy in the areas of agriculture and financial inclusion. Agriculture has been one of Orabank’s funding objectives for several years. Subsequently, we financed, within the framework of the PAEJ SP and the MIFA, many projects with convincing results, but also lessons to be learned. It should also be noted that the Covid and the Russian-Ukrainian war demonstrate that there is an opportunity in agriculture for a country like Togo. This, through the transformation of our products and the limitation of imports. The purpose of the reflections that we are carrying out at Orabank is to see how to support the agricultural, informal world, young people and women, to seize all the opportunities “, he implied.
