CBG Well Capitalized, And Has Good Asset - BOG

Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Elsie Awadzi, has disclosed that Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) Limited is very well capitalized and has good asset base for its operations.

Speaking on the Super Morning Show on Joy 99.7 FM on Tuesday, Madam Awadzi said the bank is more resilient now than it was in the initial stages.

The Deputy Governor noted that the managers of Consolidated CBG initially had to manage liquidity ahead of the release of cash from the bond issued in its name and that it why it appeared as though the bank had liquidity challenges.

She further revealed that the Consolidated Bank detected some accounting anomalies between the erstwhile banks which also caused some delay in customers receiving their funds.

“Due to the state of records by some of the erstwhile banks, CBG was unable to pay depositors their monies initially, since some of the banks had co-mingled bank accounts with capital market accounts and investment accounts. So, when the depositors came with their receipts to take their claims, it turned out that the accounts did not exist and that is was rather a claim on the investment wing of the group and not the erstwhile bank”.

“Now I can say for a fact that CBG is well capitalized, liquid, solvent and has a good asset on its books; it’s now doing business” she said.

According to her, BOG has made available cash from the bond issued in the name of CBG. She stated that the move has helped in positioning the bank to undertake normal banking business.

“The Bank of Ghana actually has monetized that bond, what that means is that we have literally bought the bond of Consolidated bank and we have given them cash.

So, the initial liquidity problems of the five are not there; Consolidated bank has a lot of resources. They’ve got three billion Cedis from Bank of Ghana and they have that liquidity to do business with,” she explained.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.
