FUTURE OF FINANCE SUMMIT

Africa's financial revolution is unstoppable! From leapfrogging traditional banking with mobile money to skyrocketing fintech growth, the continent is redefining the finance game. Fintech rules, with a 20% surge in mobile money and a whopping $2.7 billion in investments in just 24 months. Blockchain in Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria? Up over 1000%!

But it's not all smooth sailing. Regulations need harmonising, and equitable access to these financial innovations is crucial. Future of Finance gathers fintech giants, blockchain pros, central bankers, and policy-makers to tackle challenges and ride the wave of opportunities. Join us as we showcase Africa's dominance in fintech, unveil strategies for financial inclusion, and set the stage for the future of global finance!

Attended by Governors, CTOs central banks, FinTech, CFOs, Digital Finance solutions providers.
