2nd Annual African Capital Markets Conference

Description
Exporta’s African Capital Markets Conference returns to London this December, where the international investment community and leading actors from across the continent will meet once again to build on the positive foundations established at last year’s highly successful inaugural meeting.

With a pivotal year ahead for capital markets across sub-Saharan Africa, the second meeting in this growing series will provide key insight for those seeking to invest in Africa’s rapid growth and those already doing business on the continent.  Expert speakers will cast light on the latest developments and investment opportunities including recent sovereign issuances and debt profiles, increasing depth and activity in sub-Saharan private equity markets, the role of multilateral finance in facilitating investment, corporate financing options, and the growth of Africa’s domestic debt markets.   

This comprehensive event brings together key decision makers from across the African continent and further afield, combined with a proven programme format that includes detailed case study presentations, lively panel discussions and numerous networking break-outs, offering an unmissable opportunity to gain cutting edge market intelligence and create crucial business connections with senior business leaders.

The conference will be followed by the 2012 EMEA Finance African Banking Awards at Le Meridien Piccadilly in London, a prestigious evening ceremony where the market’s leaders will celebrate their successes of the last year.

Topics to be discussed include:
• Funding growth: Considering financing options for Africa’s corporates
• Highlighting key developments in local currency borrowing for regional governments
• Profiling investment opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa’s bond market hotspots
• Assessing the infrastructure needs that have driven many investments
• Examining the role of development institutions in expanding Africa’s domestic markets
• How will African equity markets attract capital in 2013?
• Promoting proficiency and confidence in Africa’s financial markets 
• Comparing transparency and visibility within Africa against its global counterparts
• How does the return on FDI for African investors compare with other key global markets?

We look forward to welcoming you to London this December for this highly anticipated event, a must attend for anyone wishing to gain the inside track on Africa’s capital markets.
