The CEO of Dalex Finance says restoring GN Savings and Loans' licence does not mean the institution has fully recovered, cautioning that rebuilding the bank and regaining public confidence will be difficult. According to him, a bank requires more than legal licence restoration — it needs operational systems, capitalization, governance, liquidity, regulatory supervision, and public confidence.
