Auction Holdings Limited (AHL) Sacco has described the year 2016 as successful after it saw a 127 percent profit jump.<\/p>\n
AHL Sacco president, Leonard Chakwawa, said the corporative posted a profit of K65.049 million in 2016, up from K28 million in 2015.<\/p>\n
Chakwawa said in 2016 the Sacco implemented strategies to counter the tough economic challenges.<\/p>\n
He was speaking in Lilongwe on Saturday during AHL Sacco\u2019s annual general meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe worked very hard because we had to explore ways of generating more revenue such as increasing loans that our members get so that interests were also increased,\u201d said Chakwawa.<\/p>\n
He added that AHL Sacco will continue courting more people so that it increases its membership.<\/p>\n
An official from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism in the office of the Registrar of Cooperatives, Charles Chirambo, said Saccos contribute significantly to national development because their services are readily available to their members.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike in the case of AHL Sacco, it has many members from different organisations. They are given different services such as loans and savings. This is every important because it relieves employers from the burden to provide loans to their employees,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Chirambo added that the ministry is striving to create a conducive environment for the success of Saccos in the country.<\/p>\n
AHL Sacco has 1,830 members from different organisations including JTI, Premium Tama, AHL Group and its subsidiaries, Associated Tobacco Company and Daeyang Luke Hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
