Banking, Financial Services & Insurance Committee
Unifying Expertise for Fair Finance
The Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) Committee brings together banking and finance, capital markets and insurance under Make in Africa, with financial leaders from across the continent. African firms often pay more for credit and insurance than their record justifies, because the global system prices risk harshly. The committee keeps dedicated expert groups for each field while tackling shared problems and pressing for fairly priced, long-term finance for African industry.
