Now, we are shifting our focus to #Africa, which is predicted to be the centre of future global growth. Elevandi, in partnership with the Bank of Ghana, Development Bank of Ghana, and other partners, is collaborating to launch the 3i Africa Summit in #Accra, #Ghana, from May 13th to May 15th. The summit will bring together pan-African leaders from the public sector, investors, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs for a multilateral dialogue to develop pathways for Africa’s Financial Sector Transformation.
