In its bid to help the fight against the coronavirus, Republic Financial Holdings Limited has set aside US$2M for the territories in which it operates, namely, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Grenada, Barbados, Ghana, Suriname, Cayman Islands, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Maarten, Anguilla, and Dominica.
Of the US$2M earmarked, Guyana will have a total of $31.5M. Managing Director for Republic Bank, Amral Khan was keen to note that the coronavirus comes at a very challenging time for the people of Guyana and its economy.
Khan said, “Given that much needs to be done, we are optimistic that our contribution will have a positive impact, thereby minimizing the number of cases in Guyana and inspiring others in the corporate community to make similar generous contributions to support this fight for life.”
The Guyana Standard understands that members of the Republic Bank Group have already taken a number of steps to safeguard the wellbeing of their customers and staff, while ensuring the provision of essential banking services. The Republic Bank Group has also reached out to its other members to provide cash flow relief to those affected by the disruption brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
