Overview
Organised by two of the world’s most influential market associations, this new summit is designed by the industry, for the industry. It aims to bring together over 1,000 senior stakeholders from across Africa and internationally—including issuers, investors, regulators, DFIs, and banks—for two days of strategic dialogue, networking and technical exchange. The programme will focus on:
- Capital market development and regional integration across both the loan and bond markets
- Sustainable finance and climate transition
- Regulatory innovation and financial inclusion
- Blended finance, FinTech, and digitalisation
- Market infrastructure and trading platforms
The landmark event has already secured the backing of South Africa’s four leading banks—Absa, Nedbank, RMB, and Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking—as platinum sponsors, with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) joining as a strategic partner. In addition, a number of other local African, regional and international institutions, including DFIs, law firms, service providers and members of the insurance market have already confirmed their support and sponsorship. Together, this support underscores the Summit’s role in bringing Africa’s debt markets together, as well as creating a collaborative, inclusive, industry-led platform to advance Africa’s loan and bond markets.
