Next November 28 and 29 are the dates scheduled for the organization of the first edition of the Africa Financial Industry Summit Afis. The event will take place in Lomé, Togo, and will bring together the entire African financial industry.

Organized by the Jeune Afrique Media group, nearly 700 bankers, insurers and Fintech, capital markets and microfinance players will discuss and propose reforms to boost the financing of African economies. According to Frédéric Maury, Deputy CEO of Jeune Afrique Media Group, “it is primarily a platform for 'public-private' dialogue at the service of a sovereign Africa capable of financing its infrastructures and major transformation projects itself.”

Several solutions have been proposed to boost the African financial industry, including the injection of equity capital to help the development of African groups and banks, proposed by Frédéric Maury, and the implementation of appropriate regulations.

“Regulation must obviously follow international trends and protect savers and depositors in particular, but regulation in Africa must be able to support the growth of the sector, not hinder or hinder, in fact, in African contexts that are sometimes quite complicated or particular, however, Not banks to lend money or insurers to insure people etc.”, thinks the Deputy CEO of Jeune Afrique Media Group.
