“I sincerely thank the IBAS Board for the trust placed in me. Under my leadership, IBAS will focus on four key pillars:
(1) transforming IBAS into a virtual Financial HUB,
(2) enhancing competitiveness and advancing the customer experience through innovative products and solutions,
(3) the internationalization of IBAS – starting with its launch in London, England, and progressing towards registration and potential listing on the London Stock Exchange or Nasdaq,
(4) maintaining and strengthening compliance with regulatory requirements.
I believe this is the right moment for IBAS to demonstrate that a financial institution from Kosovo can successfully compete in international markets.”
