A watershed year for Africa and the rest of the world, 2020 is drawing to a close: the global economy is facing a 5% decline in wealth, while the continent is weathering its first recession in 25 years. Booming before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Africa’s financial industry is now forced to rethink its development trajectory.
The first-ever continental meeting bringing together African financial industry stakeholders, THE AFRICA FINANCIAL INDUSTRY SUMMIT seeks to open up dialogue in an industry confronted with the dual challenge of helping finance the recovery while accelerating the emergence of an inclusive, robust and innovative financial services industry.
