CEO statement

From CEO, Abdirashid M. Duale

Happy New Year.

On behalf of Dahabshiil, I wish to extend our greetings to our customers, staff, agents, and partners. Thank you all for making last year a successful one for Dahabshiil.

2011 was particularly a challenging year for Somalis and the East African population at large; it was a year where most of the region suffered from severe famine. In all modesty, the company responded well to the call for help and contributed to relief efforts throughout the affected region. At the same time, we continued to maintain our social responsibility obligations where we have strong business presence.
We welcome 2012 and expect it to be another successful year for Dahabshiil and its stakeholders. We will continue our efforts at growth and expansion into new territories and markets. At the same time, we will maintain our commitment to our customers, business partners and, more importantly, will continue to support our communities throughout the region.
I wish this year will be a good one for you and your families.

Abdirashid Duale
CEO
