These programs, Mr. Dzato explained, are designed to equip bankers with the skills necessary to navigate the evolving financial landscape.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:372\">Notably, gender representation among chartered bankers has improved considerably. Last year, 51 percent of chartered bankers were female; this figure has risen this year, with 60 percent of the graduands and inductees being women. \u201cThis remarkable progress underscores our commitment to building a sustainable and inclusive future for the banking profession,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"42RMUL3N0n\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/analysis\/the-finance-minister-lied-through-his-teeth-when-he-said-npp-leaves-behind-a-resilient-economy-for-mahama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Finance Minister lied through his teeth when he said NPP leaves behind a resilient economy for Mahama<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:388\">Director of Wholesale Banking at Access Bank, Bruce James, speaking on behalf of Guest Speaker Olumide Olatunji, Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana PLC, emphasized the importance of ethical practices in banking. \u201cAs you step into your roles, remember that integrity and professionalism are the cornerstones of our industry. You have the power to influence positive change,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:326\">President of CIB Ghana, Benjamin Amenumey, urged the new chartered bankers to uphold the values of the profession. Echoing these sentiments, he said: \u201cYou are not just graduates; you are ambassadors of ethics and professionalism. Your journey begins now, and the responsibilities you carry are significant. Make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:26\"><strong>Awards and Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:378\">The ceremony also recognized outstanding individuals among the inductees.
