Singapore is one of the first countries Ramos has visited since becoming the bank’s group chair in May, succeeding José Viñals, who retired from the board. Ramos has extensive experience in the private and public sectors, including as CEO of Absa Group Limited (formerly Barclays Africa Group Limited), group chief of Transnet Ltd, a state-owned freight transport and logistics service provider, and the director-general of South Africa’s National Treasury.
