According to the chairman of the bank’s Executive Committee, Angola plays an important role in the Caixa group, “since there are Portuguese companies, there is a Portuguese community, there is a role to play” in the country.
CGD, as a shareholder of Banco Caixa Geral de Angola, maintained its presence in Angola after a period of recapitalization and restructuring. Paulo Macedo put at EUR 4.9 billion the bank´s recapitalisation.
