As a continuation of his familiarisation visits to all financial institutions in the country, the Minister for Finance, Trade and Economic Planning Dr Peter Larose visited the two Victoria branches of the Seychelles Commercial Bank (SCB) yesterday.
Accompanied by the managing director of SCB Annie Vidot, the principal secretary and chairman of SCB’s board of directors Patrick Payet and senior officials from the ministry, Minister Larose firstly visited the main branch of the SCB located at Kingsgate House.
There he met and discussed with employees from various departments such as the banking services, debt recovery and the legal departments.
The second part of his tour was at the corporate branch of SCB based at Orion Mall, a branch of the bank which mainly deals with banking services for businesses.
In this particular visit Minister Larose once more took the time to interact with the staff about their working conditions and the specifications of their respective departments.
SCB is one of the assorted financial institutions which fall under his ministry’s portfolio as the government of Seychelles is the current largest shareholder, with 60% shares in total while the other 40% shares belong to around 3300 Seychellois.
According to Mr Larose he felt it was necessary to visit a bank which is completely owned and ran by Seychellois.
