Most importantly, this forum aims to prepare African countries to better leverage their capital for development while providing a platform for peer-to-peer learning among Regional Member Countries.

Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank Group and chair of the Board of Directors, will deliver opening remarks to set the stage for this gathering of high-level representatives from African financial institutions, stock exchanges, development banks, international ratings agencies, and government ministries.
