During the 2024 African Economic Symposium, I discussed the topic of innovative sources of financing in Africa with Dr. FAHD AZAROUAL from the Policy Center for the New South.
The African continent is challenged to attract significant investments in crucial sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and health. However, access to finance remains a major obstacle. The focus is exploring advanced financial solutions such as fintech technologies, public-private partnerships, and green financial instruments. These offer promising opportunities to overcome these obstacles and instill hope for sustainable growth. The discussion begins by defining « innovative financial solutions » within the context of sustainable development and explaining why these solutions are crucial for Africa today. The conversation addresses the current financing gaps and examines how innovative approaches can help bridge them, ensuring Africa’s economic prosperity.
