The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Dr Ernest Addison has announced that the central bank has been furnished with the full list of persons seeking to acquire shares in Société Générale.
Dr Addison said that the bidding process is ongoing. The central bank is expecting to be informed about the preferred bidders who have been settled on by Société Générale, he said.
Answering questions during the 120th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) press conference in Accra on Friday, September 27, Dr Addison said "as an update, we have been furnished with all the bidders of shares that are being disposed of.
So the bidding process is still ongoing and hopefully when they decide on the preferred bidder they will also let us know ." It is recalled that the BoG earlier directed the management of Société Générale Ghana to submit the full list of the bidders to avoid surprises.
