Conference Agenda 2026
African Markets Conference 2026
Standard Bank CIB hosted the African Markets Conference 2026 from 22 to 24 February. The event brought together African and international investors with public sector leaders, regulators, and policy makers.
You will see every session from the conference listed below on this page. Each one is now available to watch or read in your own time.
The conference examined the forces that reshaped Africa’s macroeconomic outlook, from shifting geopolitical ties and sovereign debt pressures to the development of capital markets, intra African trade, private capital, and the funding models needed to address the continent’s infrastructure gap. Across two days, the programme offered clear views and practical insight aimed at moving capital into Africa.
Engage with leaders who turned ambition into investable action.
