UIB Board of Directors: President Kamel Néji Announces Resignation
The Board of Directors of the International Union of Banks (UIB) met on Thursday, August 28, at the UIB headquarters in Tunis, Berges du Lac.
President Kamel Néji Announces Resignation
At his own initiative, President Kamel Néji announced his resignation from all his functions and mandates within the UIB group to the members of the Board of Directors.
His decision will take effect on December 31, 2025, allowing for the necessary time to implement a succession plan.
Tribute to Kamel Néji's 18 Years of Service
The Board of Directors has taken note of this decision and would like to thank Mr. Kamel Néji for his 18 years of dedication to the UIB and its various stakeholders.
Kamel Néji's Statement
On this occasion, Kamel Néji declared: "On November 24, 2022, I expressed my intense desire for change and not to serve an additional term following the ordinary general assembly called to approve the 2023 financial statements. However, the announcement of a strategic reflection on Société Générale's participation in UIB's capital on June 6, 2023, was an unpredictable, irresistible, and external event that convinced me, in the superior interest of UIB, to postpone the new horizons and challenges I aspired to then."
He added: "At the request of the Board of Directors meeting on January 31, 2024, I accepted to be renewed in my administrator functions during the ordinary general assembly held on April 26, 2024, and in my functions as President of the Board of Directors during the same meeting. I note that this strategic reflection ended on February 7, 2025."
Dedication to UIB and the Country
"Since 2008, I have served UIB and my country with honor. I have always acted in favor of all the bank's stakeholders, never against. I naturally remain at the disposal of the Board of Directors to ensure – resolutely and independently – the transition in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 2016-48 of July 11, 2016, related to banks and financial institutions, and Circular BCT No. 2021-05 related to the governance framework of banks and financial institutions. And this, while maintaining the confident and positive relationships that exist today within the bank," concluded Kamel Néji.
