NSIA Banque Ivory Coast will distribute 12 billion FCFA of dividends, or 18.3 million euros, for the 2017 financial year. The decision was taken in favor of its first ordinary general meeting held on May 30 in Abidjan.
The meeting, which approved the financial statements for the year ended with a net profit of 19 539 704 927 billion FCFA, or 29.79 million euros, saw the remarkable presence of more than 500 shareholders. A craze that can be explained by the arrival of new holders at the bank’s tour de table following the OPV carried out last July 3rd.
Shareholders will receive a gross unit dividend of 517, 911 FCFA (0.79 euros).
The general meeting also proceeded to the appointment of a new director in the person of Christian NOYER, honorary governor of the Banque de France.
Note that in the first quarter of 2018, NSIA Banque Côte d’Ivoire posted a net profit of 5.36 billion FCFA, or nearly 8.2 million euros. A figure up 26.8% compared to the first quarter of 2017.
