Since November 28, 2022, the leaders of the African financial industry have been in Lomé. They discuss current and future challenges related to the acceleration of trade and the economic recovery of the continent, through the development of a competitive and sustainable financial industry.

The meeting between the leaders of the African financial industry counts for the second edition of the Africa Financial Industry Summit (Afis), whose work was opened by the President of the Republic, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé. According to the Togolese president, in a speech, the role of the State is to create attractive conditions for investment in the African financial industry. Organized by the Jeune Afrique Media group, this international meeting brings together more than 500 bankers, insurers, but also actors. Over two days, they will discuss the changes and reforms to be carried out, to contribute to the development of an African financial sector, but also to place the financial services industry at the heart of the success of the Zlecaf project.

They will also be responsible for proposing ways and means to boost financial inclusion and ensure sustainable financing of economies. Then give a voice to the African financial industry in debates on international regulation.
