First edition of the Financial Industry Summit


Date : 10-11 March 2021

Online

The Africa CEO Forum, in partnership with the international Finance Corporation (IFC), organizes the first edition of the Financial Industry Summit online on 10-11 March 2021.

Africa’s financial industry was one of the most dynamic in the world before the covid-19 pandemic struck. However, the impact of the economic crisis promises to be severe for Africa’s economies which face heightened levels of risk, a likely deterioration in returns on equity, and the challenge of rapid digitalization. In this regard, the summit allows African finance to rethink its development trajectory.

This first edition will convene 500 decision-makers representing the entire spectrum of the financial industry, including bankers, insurers, fintech executives, mobile money operators and microfinance institutions, stock markets, regulators and government ministers.

The summit seeks to help the sector boost competitiveness, embrace innovation and have a positive, sustainable impact on the continent’s economies. It will explore topics essential to developing an efficient financial sector, such as how to drive digital transformation, developing financial inclusion strategies, adapting to the regulatory environment, updating risk management practices and understanding the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) through panels, keynote speeches and roundtables. 

The Africa CEO Forum is an annual gathering of decision-makers from the largest african companies, as well as international investors, multinational executives, heads of state, ministers, and representatives of the main financial institutions operating on the continent which was founded in 2012.
