Haytham ElMaayergi, Executive Vice President of @afreximbank, shared three powerful messages during his Special Remarks on financing Africa's digital and economic transformation today. 🏦 "First, digital is the new physical - in the 21st century, a digital payment rail is as essential as a paved road.
