Spot the right investment opportunity, first

The demand for micro, small and medium enterprise credit in the West African region alone is estimated to be between $8bn and $48bn. 

Clearly, the investment opportunity is huge. 

But, the reality is that poor infrastructure, nascent government regulation and an absence of transparency make picking the right investment a challenge.

Are you equipped to decipher the current landscape? Are you confident in the right investment to make? Do you know where to look for the most profitable investment opportunities? 

This year’s Investment and Innovation in Microfinance Summit Africa provides you with an alternative investment guide.

Top 7 reasons to attend this year’s Summit: 

  1. Gain regulatory updates from the Central Banks of Ghana, Nigeria and Sudan

  2. Find out where best to invest to get the most profitable returns; Deutsche Bank, OPIC, KfW, the EIB and NMI share their insights

  3. Overcome the risk of investing in Africa: Understand what level of due diligence you should undertake and where can you access the most informative data

  4. Responsible investing: Isolate the right MFIs to work with in order to conquer over-indebtedness
