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. Without it, trade stands still. Second, integration is non-negotiable. We must move from digital islands to digital continents. No one country can do this alone. Third, the path to pilot projects is over." Mr. ElMaayergi addressed the critical intersection of capital and technology. He explored how strategic financing, from Advisory and Capital Markets to Digital Banking, is the essential fuel needed to move beyond "digital islands" and build a unified economic continent. #InclusiveFinTechForum #IFF2026 #Afreximbank #InclusiveFinTechForum #IFF2026 #Afreximbank

Digital Transformation and Private Investment: Building the Foundations of Africa's Next Economic Era The Global Leadership Dialogue just wrapped up a deep dive into how we finance and govern Africa's next economic era. The panel moved past the "why" of digital transformation to focus on building the foundations for long-term resilience. Moderated by Lerato Mbele (Social Alchemists), the session reframed digital tools - identity systems, payments, data governance - as essential public infrastructure, as vital as any paved road.

On the sidelines of #IFF2026, Governor @SorayaMHlive held a bilateral meeting with Serigne Dioum, CEO of MTN Group Fintech. Discussions focused on potential areas of collaboration to advance financial inclusion for youth, women, and MSMEs. #IFF2026 #BNREngage
