| 08.00 | Registration open |
| 08.10 – 08.55 | Breakfast session | Capital with impact: gender-responsive sustainable finance for Africa’s inclusive growth, co-hosted by UN Women Africa’s sustainable finance landscape is rapidly evolving and this high-level session will spotlight how gender-responsive finance can unlock the continent’s next wave of inclusive growth. “Capital with Impact” brings together issuers, investors, regulators, and development partners to showcase breakthrough innovations in gender-responsive bonds, loans, and blended finance. The discussion will identify pathways for collaboration and outline the concrete policy, regulatory, and investment shifts needed to scale these instruments and deliver transformative, gender-responsive growth across Africa. Moderator: Robyn Oates, Head of Sustainable Finance, UN Women Panellists:
|
| 09.00 – 09.15 | Welcome address Scott McMunn, Chief Executive, LMA Bryan Pascoe, Chief Executive, ICMA |
| 09.15 – 09.25 | Opening keynote address John Gandolfo, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, International Finance Corporation (IFC) |
| 09.25 – 09.35 | Keynote address Cas Coovadia, B20 Sherpa for South Africa |
| 09.35 – 10.15 | Panel: Africa’s capital markets in a changing global order – risks, resilience, and reform This opening panel will set the scene by exploring how Africa’s capital markets are responding to a rapidly shifting global financial landscape. Amid heightened volatility, tighter global financial conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, and evolving investor and creditor dynamics, panellists will examine the implications for capital flows, market stability, and long-term investment across Africa. The discussion will focus on how policymakers, regulators, and market institutions can strengthen resilience, enhance market credibility, and support deeper, more integrated capital markets. Panellists will consider the reforms and institutional priorities needed to position African markets as investable, competitive, and aligned with global standards, while remaining responsive to local development needs. Moderator: Penino Vinas, Head Debt Capital Markets, Global Markets, Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking Panellists:
|
| 10.15 – 11.00 | Panel: Advancing Africa’s capital markets — driving growth and integration This strategic conversation will explore how Africa can transform its financial markets to support inclusive growth, regional integration, and long-term resilience. Leaders will discuss expanding market access, diversifying instruments, and strengthening institutional frameworks to attract sustainable capital flows. The dialogue will highlight the importance of building money markets and benchmark reforms, while also emphasizing the need to ‘Africanise’ capital market policy - ensuring frameworks reflect local contexts and priorities while remaining aligned with global standards. Moderator: Godfrey Mutizwa, Editor, CNBC Africa Panellists:
|
| 11.00 – 11.45 | Coffee break |
| 11.45 – 11.55 | Keynote address Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman, Access Holdings and Coronation Group |
| 11.55 – 12.35 | Panel: Africa’s loan market agenda - unlocking capital and driving development This session will examine the loan market agenda in Africa, focusing on mobilising bank finance, syndicated lending, and private credit to meet development needs. It will explore how DFIs, commercial lenders, and private credit providers can work together to close financing gaps, support infrastructure investment, and enhance access to capital for both sovereigns and corporates. The discussion will also consider how regional cooperation and cross- border loan syndications can increase liquidity, while highlighting the role of credit enhancement tools in reducing risk and attracting new participants. The session will stress the importance of aligning public and private sector financing strategies to ensure sustainability.
Panellists:
|
| 12.35 – 13.15 | Panel: Africa’s bond market agenda — building depth and investor confidence This session will focus on Africa’s evolving bond market agenda, from strengthening local currency debt markets to creating regional investment platforms and expanding access to long-term capital. Alongside sovereign issuance, the panel will explore how corporate bond markets can be developed to diversify financing sources, broaden the investor base, and provide sustainable funding for Africa’s private sector. It will examine how regulatory coherence, innovation, and improved transparency can enhance investor confidence and reduce perceived risks. Key discussion points will include lessons from recent sovereign debt defaults and restructurings, the role of credit ratings and rating agency practices, and the persistent challenge of the so-called “African risk premium.” The panel will also highlight opportunities for greater integration with Asia and MENA bond markets, fostering cross-border issuance and investment flows.
Moderator: Kumeshen Naidoo, Head: Debt Capital Markets, ABSA Group Ltd Panellists:

| 13.15 – 14.15 | Lunch |

This session examines the funding requirements of various issuers against expectations of investors, how domestic and international investors are engaging with the debt markets, and how issuers can best structure debt to manage risk while funding expansion.

| 15.10 – 15.55 | Panel: Converging capital — navigating multi-asset investment in Africa This panel discusses how Africa’s markets are adapting to a multi-asset reality, and what it means for issuers, intermediaries, and investors. It highlights the emergence of hybrid strategies, the growing influence of private markets, and the integration of alternative players including hedge funds, insurance providers and sovereign wealth funds, into mainstream investment channels. It also raises important questions about market regulation, transparency, liquidity, and systemic resilience in a world of increasingly complex financial interlinkages. With this convergence comes both opportunity and risk: the opportunity to diversify sources of capital, fund innovation and infrastructure, and broaden Africa’s investor base - but also the risk of volatility, fragmentation, or regulatory lag if market structures do not evolve in tandem.
Panellists:
|
| 15.15 - 15.55 | Seminar | Benchmark reform across Africa: Transitions to risk-free reference rates This seminar will explore benchmark reforms across African financial markets, focusing on the transition from legacy interbank offered rates such as JIBAR to new risk-free reference rates including ZARONIA, CONIA, and KESONIA. The discussion will examine progress and challenges in implementing these reforms across jurisdictions, covering legal, operational, and market implications for loans, bonds, and derivatives. Participants will also consider how to promote consistent adoption and liquidity in these new benchmarks, drawing on lessons learned from global transitions to risk-free rates. The session will highlight opportunities for collaboration and knowledge-sharing to ensure Africa’s benchmark reform journey supports deeper, more resilient, and integrated capital markets. Moderator: Kam Hessling, Managing Director, LMA Speakers:
|
| 15.55 – 16.40 | Coffee break |
| 16.40 – 17.25 | Panel: Aligning capital with climate and development goals — Africa’s sustainable finance pathway Sustainable finance instruments, including green, social, and sustainability-linked bonds/loans, are critical to aligning market activity with Africa’s climate, environmental, and inclusive growth objectives. This session discusses the enabling conditions needed for scale and credibility, while also taking a forward-looking view: what has and hasn’t worked in Africa so far, whether sustainable finance remains relevant, and how to weigh its benefits against its costs.
Panellists:
|
| 16.40 – 17.25 | Seminar: Hosted by Frontclear on legal and operational reforms for strengthening African repo markets This seminar will explore legal and operational reforms needed to strengthen repo markets across African countries.

Speakers will consider how aligning disclosure standards, settlement protocols, and regulatory approaches can foster trust and investor confidence across jurisdictions. At the same time, the panel will examine how digital finance - from cross-border payment systems and interoperable digital platforms to innovations like digital bonds, loan securitisation and AI-driven trading - can unlock new opportunities for issuers and investors alike.
Moderator: Abena Amoah, CEO, Ghana Stock Exchange Panellists:

| 10.05 - 10.50 | Roundtable session: Rebuilding trust in SLBs: Pathways to a high-integrity market Despite early growth, Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) issuances have slowed amid concerns over weak KPIs, limited ambition, and inconsistencies that have undermined market integrity. This roundtable will convene leading investors, sovereign issuers, DFIs, structuring advisors, and nature-finance experts to explore practical pathways for rebuilding trust in the SLB market. Building on Bankers Without Boundaries (BwB - The Investment Bank for Earth)’s ongoing research and stakeholder engagement, this practically orientated session aims to generate alignment around “Golden Rules” for credible SLBs, identify concrete next steps to scale high-quality issuances, particularly for emerging market sovereigns, and gain buy-in from key sector stakeholders to collaborate on integrity building initiatives moving forward.
