First Rand still interested in acquiring a bank in Ghana
South Africa's biggest finance group, First Rand says it is still interested in acquiring a bank in Ghana despite failing to take over Merchant bank.
In a responds to questions sent to the group by Joy Business, its Director of Investor Relations Sam Moss said they would continue to explore opportunities in Ghana.
This is because Ghana remains a priority for the group's expansion drive.
The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) last month announced that it was unable to reach an agreement with First Rand over Merchant Bank's sale.
