RMB, the corporate and investment bank in the FirstRand stable, has set up a US representative office in New York to help facilitate deals between the US and sub-Saharan Africa, the bank says.
The corporate and investment bank’s move comes after US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen conducted a weeklong visit to Senegal, Zambia and South Africa in January. During her tour, Yellen said America’s Africa strategy recognises that the continent will shape the future of the global economy.
