Despite regional and global challenges, Africa’s financial sector is charting a stronger path forward.

Il est difficile de parler de souveraineté économique aujourd'hui sans une considération particulière pour les enjeux de l'industrie financière, que ce soit le retrait de la plupart des acteurs bancaires internationaux du continent, la persistance d’un faible taux de pénétration de l’assurance et de la collecte de l’épargne qui en découle, ou encore les impératifs de développement des marchés de capitaux. C'est pourquoi, après le Africa CEO Forum, Jeune Afrique Media Group a créé l’AFRICA FINANCIAL SUMMIT - AFIS. En moins de trois ans, #AFIS a réussi à devenir une plate-forme qui réunit chaque année plus de 1000 participants parmi les plus influents de l’industrie, banquiers, assureurs, ministres des Finances, gouverneurs de banque centrale… Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer que la 3e édition de #AFIS se tiendra les 9 et 10 décembre à Casablanca, au #Maroc 🇲🇦 La capitale économique du royaume du Maroc, l’un des premiers hubs économiques et financiers d'Afrique, réunit les ingrédients qui font le cœur de la démarche #AFIS : un État stratège qui planifie et met en place un cadre réglementaire favorable, trois banques de premier plan qui se déploient sur tout le continent et une place financière qui se positionne comme un épicentre de la finance africaine. 🏦 https://lnkd.in/eAeMnm-7 Rejoignez-nous en décembre à Casablanca autour d’un objectif : transformer le secteur financier africain en une industrie de classe mondiale. 🤝 #AFIS2024 #FinanceAfricaine
