Luanda: Angola will host the African Financial Industry Summit (AFIS) in Luanda on November 3 and 4. This pan-African platform is dedicated to the development of the financial sector on the continent.
According to Angola Press News Agency, holding AFIS in the country represents recognition of Angola's growing role in promoting macroeconomic stability, modernizing the financial system, and regional economic integration. The event aims to promote dialogue between public and private decision-makers, investors, regulators, and financial institutions, with the goal of accelerating the financing of the African economy and strengthening the integration of financial markets.
In a statement, the National Bank of Angola (BNA) said the summit will provide an opportunity to discuss the main challenges and opportunities of the African financial sector, including financial inclusion, digital transformation, infrastructure financing, sustainable investments, as well as capital mobilization and strengthening the continent's financial markets.
