This ceremony, attended by administrative authorities and traditional chiefs of the Littoral region, marks the opening of the first hub entirely dedicated to liberal professions, associations, and small businesses. The institution aims to capture a larger share of financial flows from a portfolio of clients seeking formalization, relying on consolidated financial foundations, materialized by a regulatory capital of 25 billion CFA francs.

The prudential indicators as of March 31, 2026, validate the institution's expansion strategy within the CEMAC zone. The net own funds amount to 138 billion CFA francs, allowing for a risk coverage ratio of 20.5% and a short-term liquidity level of 211%, performances that exceed the minimum requirements imposed by the Central African regulator. The new operational site in Douala complements a network of 48 branches. GBC capitalizes on its 63-year history of presence in the national market to restructure its credit offer, specifically targeting the treasury and investment needs of its 190,000 clients, including 2,000 formal sector companies.

The strategic orientation towards high-value-added customer segments responds to the financial engineering needs of the economic actors in the economic capital. The specialized advisors assigned to the Bonapriso hub have expanded mandates to structure tailored financing, accelerate treasury management, and optimize the transmission of assets of SME directors. By facilitating access to short- and medium-term credit lines, the bank's top management aligns with the government's industrial growth objectives. The approach aims to transform the financial solidity of the banking operator into a lever for industrialization and job creation for the national economy.
