If you are operating in Africa, or thinking about it – you need to join us in London. This essential 1-day event that will show you how to unlock the potential of this dynamic region.

The discussion will be highly practical – focusing on what you can do and how to do it. You will meet other treasurers and finance professionals operating in Africa facing the same challenges as you and finding ways to overcome them. You will also meet the key banks and solution providers operating in the region.

What’s on the agenda?

Making sure that your treasury is fit for the idiosyncrasies of operating in Africa is no easy feat, and rapid changes in-country can put treasurers off their stride. Even though Africa remains a focus for global growth, it’s not always fast to deliver, and infrastructural, political and regulatory stumbling blocks remain. 

Africa’s economies have been directly hit amid the change in the commodity super-cycle, the  oil price fall, the end of QE in the US, continued low interest rates globally and the strength of the dollar. It’s certainly not all bad news, and for many economies, low commodity prices have resulted in an ability to build the tax base and have helped dampen inflation. There’s not the ‘heat’ of a couple of years ago, but Africa remains on the global growth map.

Smart treasuries need to stay abreast of the opportunities and practical solutions to the challenges.  This conference looks at what is practicable in Africa. Hear what’s changed over the past year and what other developments are afoot. Share best practice and ideas about how to get things done.
