The event will bring together stakeholders in the banking industry across West Africa, including practitioners and regulators, to find solutions to the challenges posed by the operational and regulatory requisites of economic liberalisation and sub-regional integration; and also to identify the opportunities presented in terms of expansion and profitability with a view to finding ways of exploiting them.

The West African Banking Congress also aims at appraising national, regional and global viewpoints on best practices in banking strategy, technology and innovation, and providing leaders within the sector a platform to share insights, brainstorm on viable options and adopt corporate strategies for excellence in their respective institutions. The event will attract an enticing lineup of delegates and speakers including Central Bank Governors from the West African sub-region, Board Chairmen and CEOs from leading banking institutions in West Africa.
