Our sixth Integrated Annual Report provides readers with a clear understanding of how we create sustainable value over the short, medium, and long term. Our value creation story discusses our strategy, business model, governance and risk management processes, financial performance, and the future outlook for SANASA Development Bank PLC (“SDB bank” or “the Bank”).

Cutting the clutter

To ensure that we communicate relevant information concisely while comprehensively meeting compliance requirements, our Integrated Annual Report is available in the following formats in addition to the printed report:
