Conceived in 2021 as a joint initiative between Jeune Afrique Media Group and the International Financial Institution (SFI), the forum will bring together over 1,250 high-level decision-makers, including bankers, insurers, investment fund managers, technological innovators, and market regulators.

The meeting takes place in a global context characterized by the tightening of access to international capital, forcing currency managers to reorient development priorities. The Governor of the National Bank of Angola, Manuel Antonio Tiago Dias, and the Director General of Jeune Afrique Media Group, Amir Ben Yahmed, will guide the debates towards mechanisms of financial autonomy, focusing on the capture of domestic savings, the dematerialization of payment services, and integration into the regional exchange structures of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The exchanges aim to structure industrial alliances capable of sustaining the growth trajectory of pan-African banks in the face of the scarcity of foreign direct investment.

The session follows the major event held in Casablanca in 2025, which was characterized by the awarding of distinctions to ecosystem players, such as the leaders of Attijariwafa Bank, including Mohamed El Kettani, the Helios Investment Partners fund, as well as young technological shoots eShandi and HUB2. The Luanda debates aim to concretize theoretical innovations in operational agreement protocols and long-term capital flows. The success of the consultation platform remains correlated with the harmonization of regional regulatory frameworks and the effective opening of capital markets to global institutional investors.
