Seif Al-Daw' Kuku acknowledged the significant damage to the banking sector caused by the war but highlighted the resilience and determination of the bank's employees. He also expressed condolences for the souls of the martyrs in the Battle of Dignity, including three employees of the bank who lost their lives—one from the headquarters, one from the Al-Arab branch in Omdurman, and one from the Al-Maliq branch in Al-Jazeera State.

Additionally, Mr. Najm Al-Din Khalaf Allah Abdul Qadir, the General Manager of the Agricultural Bank, announced the bank's continued support for the winter agricultural season in several states, pointing to the growing partnership with farmers and retirees across Sudan.

Najm Al-Din mentioned that the Agricultural Bank was among the first banks to resume operations after the Eid al-Fitr holiday in 2023, operating in 21 branches outside the capital, Khartoum, to serve its clients and those of other banks.

Furthermore, Dr. Ali Khalid Al-Fuwail, General Manager of the Khartoum Stock Exchange, praised the Agricultural Bank for being the second bank to hold its general assembly meeting twice since the outbreak of the war in April 2023, commending its board of directors and staff for their efforts.
