The Central Bank of The Gambia has directed commercial banks to replace non-Gambian workers by 2026, according to Punch Nigeria. The order has prompted criticism over its possible impact on foreign employees and the banking sector. The available report does not provide the number of workers affected, identify the nationalities involved or set out the central bank’s stated reasoning.
It also does not detail how banks are expected to implement the instruction, whether exemptions are available or what consequences could follow if institutions do not meet the deadline. The policy is therefore expected to remain a subject of scrutiny as commercial banks consider how to respond before 2026. Further details on the order and the criticism surrounding it were not included in the supplied material.
