After serving eight years as Country Director of Ecobank Capital, which is a subsidiary of the Ecobank Group, Michael N.A. Cobblah, is stepping down as the head of one of Africa’s leading capital markets and investment banking by the end of this month to pursue other opportunities.
Mr. Cobblah can be credited with leading capital market transactions like the TTB-Ecobank merger that thrust Ecobank to number-one position in the Ghanaian banking industry, the US$900million privatisation of Ghana Telecom, reorganisation of the US$900million TOR debt, and actively contributing in the Eurobond issues.
He also advised on a number of syndicated lending on the market for both public and private sector entities in Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Gambia.
Michael chaired the National Bond Market Committee II under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance which submitted its report in December 2012. He is also a member of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) oversight committee.
