This is why we are happy to celebrate and honour these finance experts who are at the forefront of promoting economic growth and contributing immensely to the sector.”
He added that the finance industry is very dynamic and has immense impact on Africa’s overall economy. “The relevance of the sector is seen now more than ever through the innovative ways by which players in the industry handled the pandemic and kept things running regardless.”
