Gambia: 11 Banks Ordered to Review Their Foreign Staff by End of 2026 – La Nouvelle Tribune

The 11 licensed commercial banks in Gambia are required by the Central Bank (CBG) to replace their foreign staff with qualified Gambian nationals by December 31, 2026. This decision follows an investigation that found some non-Gambian employees occupying positions beyond the permitted quotas, violating the Labour Act of 2023. The circular, issued on September 16, 2026, does not specify the number of replacements or individual banks involved but emphasizes compliance with local employment laws regarding expatriates.
