Attijariwafa Bank (MA0000012445) agreed on October 1, 2026, to acquire a 55.22 percent stake in Societe Generale Ghana, according to Ecofin Agency. The transaction would give the Moroccan lender its first direct banking presence in Ghana, subject to regulatory and stock market approvals.

Ghana adds a new growth market

The proposed deal would transfer control of Societe Generale Ghana to Attijariwafa Bank while the Social Security and National Insurance Trust takes a further 5.00 percent. The seller's total stake covered by the agreement was 60.22 percent, making the transaction a material expansion of Attijariwafa Bank's West African footprint.

Three events shaped the story

On June 2, 2026, Attijariwafa Bank's annual meeting date was listed in the issuer record, while Al Mada held 46.50 percent of the bank as of December 31, 2025, according to the AMMC. On July 27, 2026, first-half results showed net banking income of MAD 18.40 billion, up 4.00 percent year over year, while net income group share rose 1.10 percent to MAD 5.90 billion, as reported by Quartr.

On October 1, 2026, the Ghana agreement became the latest strategic development, with Attijariwafa Bank set to receive the controlling 55.22 percent stake after the required approvals.

Why does 55.22 percent matter?

The percentage is large enough to give Attijariwafa Bank control rather than a passive investment. It also complements the bank's existing pan-African network and its reported first-half growth, but the transaction still depends on approval in Ghana and Morocco.

Next results arrive November 13

Quartr lists November 13, 2026, as the next earnings date for third-quarter results. That release should give investors a new operating update alongside the Ghana integration timetable.

Casablanca listing keeps the focus local

Attijariwafa Bank is listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange and operates in the banking sector, according to the AMMC issuer record. The Ghana transaction adds strategic scope, while the 4.00 percent first-half income increase provides the latest quantified operating baseline.
