DGI CEO Urges Banks to Provide Mortgages to Investors

Wednesday, June 6, 2007

The Chief Executive Officer of DGI Gambia Ltd Mr. Steve Bailey Vaughan who is an investment consultant and financial analyst in the UK has urged banks in The Gambia to provide a mortgage product to Europeans wishing to invest in the Gambia. This, he believes, will help Europeans to more easily directly invest in the country.

"If the banks are able to come up with a solution that can facilitate this requirement, investment in The Gambia would increase rapidly. The more investment that comes in, the more benefit to the community that would be provided through reinvestment projects".

According to him the banks that come up with the mortgage product will capture an extremely lucrative market opportunity. He noted that Europeans have an abundance of money to invest with the aid of a mortgage product this will make the Gambia even more appealing for them to invest into.

According to the financial adviser and investment consultant, it is a traditional in Europe and America that a property is purchased with the aid of a mortgage. "If banks want to do business with Europeans they should adopt a European mentality for property purchase and investment. Is good business for the banks and it would provide a tremendous amount of investment into the country."

He further revealed that he would be speaking to the banks in the UK to provide these similar mortgage products for Europeans who want to invest in The Gambia. However, this would be more beneficial if Banks in The Gambia where to provide this facility as the finance would be staying in The Gambia.
