Annual Report 2020 2 REPUBLIC BANK (GUYANA) LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 1
1 Annual Report 2020 2 REPUBLIC BANK (GUYANA) LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 1 While we were at home being safe, the world started to look differently. For us, it was a time of change as well. We had to adapt to our transformed lives. We found new ways to work, to learn, to be together. We found a new perspective on ourselves, our neighbours, our country and the world. As a Group, we affirmed the hope that we could maintain the lives we built. So we found solutions to serve the unique needs of this time. We found ways to support our customers’ financing, increased our digital offerings, and changed our in-branch approach to be socially distant yet fully committed. At every step, and across all our territories, we kept a positive outlook. For we wanted all our communities to keep believing that a great future is, and always will be, ours. 2 REPUBLIC BANK (GUYANA) LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT The Bank at a Glance About Us Total Assets ($ Billion) 250 Established in 1836, Republic Bank (Guyana) 205.3 180.2 168.2 146.2 151.6 Limited is one of Guyana’s longest-serving institutions and is a recognised leader in the 200 provision of financial services.

Griffin, PhD, North Carolina State University June Soomer, PhD, Secretary General, Association of Caribbean States Introduction The paradox of geography continues to explain much of the opportunities and challenges facing the 20-member states and territories that comprise the Caribbean Community today, including those occasioned by the recent of “de-risking” phenomenon, which has witnessed the withdrawal of correspondent banking services.
