THE Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited has generated almost Two Million Dollars through the GBTI Hurricane Relief Fund – Bahamas which was initiated shortly after Hurricane Dorian ravaged sections of the Bahamas early in September.

The Bank immediately committed a substantial three million dollars and encouraged its customers, staff and members of the public to join the relief efforts by donating to the Fund.

The FUND was closed on October 1 and the funds raised were, last week, handed over to the Civil Defence Commission which is coordinating the national support efforts here.

Meanwhile, GBTI donated its three million dollars directly to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) of the Bahamas to also aid their relief efforts. GBTI expressed its gratitude to all those who contributed to the Fund and also expressed hope and best wishes to the Government and People of The Bahamas for a speedy return to normalcy.
