THE mooted commercial bank for women in the country is a step in the right direction which will help contribute towards raising financial empowerment among the women in Zambia.
This innovative move will, surely, help augment the banked segment of the citizens which is currently undersized and is made up of even fewer women than men.
Further, it will definitely help to meet the key objective of providing financing for women entrepreneurs and small businesses.
More often than not, when people talk about women financing, they limit that to micro-financing which is a misnomer and an anomaly, considering that women are an integral part of any country's economic sector.
