The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Olayemi Cardoso, and the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, will headline the 7th Africa Emerging Markets Forum in Abuja this week as policymakers and global economic experts gather to chart strategies for strengthening Africa’s resilience amid growing global economic uncertainties.
The two-day forum, scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, and Thursday, July 30, at the CBN headquarters, is being hosted by the apex bank in collaboration with the Emerging Markets Forum (EMF) and the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa (CSEA).
A major highlight of the event will be a high-level fireside dialogue between Cardoso and Okonjo-Iweala on the theme “Building Resilience Amidst Geoeconomic Uncertainties”.
The discussion is expected to focus on how African economies can sustain reform momentum, deepen regional integration, strengthen economic resilience and unlock long-term growth in the face of increasing global fragmentation.
