This new edition marks a key step in the collective reflection on mobilizing the continent\u2019s capital. In a global environment characterized by high interest rates, persistent geopolitical tensions, and greater selectivity of international capital, African stakeholders agree on one priority: to build financial ecosystems capable of mobilizing and channeling African savings toward the continent\u2019s productive investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As many major transformation projects in energy, infrastructure, and digital sectors require massive investment, Africa must be able to rely more heavily on its own financing levers. The paradox of a resource-rich yet under-financed continent is at the heart of this year\u2019s AFIS discussions. To address it, participants will explore suitable regulatory frameworks, innovative financial instruments, and public-private partnerships capable of turning African economies into regional investment powerhouses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Amir Ben Yahmed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, President of the Africa Financial Summit, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAfrica is not short of capital: it lies in our banks, our markets, our insurance funds, and even in our phones. What it still lacks is ambitious regulation and solid bridges to channel this capital towards development. That is the very purpose of AFIS: bringing together Africa\u2019s financial actors to jointly build an architecture capable of financing our own ambitions.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Makhtar Diop<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), said: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMobilizing all our resources \u2013 African savings, regional markets, global capital \u2013 is the key to sustainable growth. The theme of AFIS 2025 \u2013 Unlocking Africa\u2019s financial power: time to mobilize domestic capital at scale \u2013 shows how necessary this transformation is. Success depends on us all.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>H.E. Mrs. Nadia Fettah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Minister of Economy and Finance, stated: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFinancial sovereignty is not a slogan; it is an imperative, a collective duty, a handover between African generations. These words commit us (&#8230;) Africa does not seek to isolate itself from the world. It wishes neither to build walls nor cut itself off from exchanges, but to reclaim control over its economic destiny. It wants to choose its partnerships, influence the rules of the global game, and shape its priorities according to its own needs \u2013 no longer according to cycles or constraints dictated from elsewhere.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over two days, more than thirty conferences, workshops, and roundtables will give participants the opportunity to actively shape the transformation of Africa\u2019s financial landscape. AFIS 2025 will bring together leaders of major banking and insurance institutions, fintechs, regional stock exchanges, and regulatory authorities to build the foundations of a resilient, integrated, and forward-looking African finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the personalities present in Casablanca are leaders of the largest development finance institutions, including <\/span><b>Makhtar Diop<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (IFC), <\/span><b>Serge Eku\u00e9<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (BOAD), <\/span><b>Dr. George Agyekum Donkor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development), <\/span><b>Jules Ngankam <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(African Guarantee Fund), and <\/span><b>Ethiopis Tafara<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (IFC).
