Hosted by the CBN in collaboration with the Emerging Markets Forum (EMF) and the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa (CSEA), the high-profile gathering will convene senior policymakers, central bankers, ministers, development partners, private-sector leaders, and top global economists to deliberate on practical policy responses to an increasingly volatile economic landscape.
Held under the theme “Building Resilience Amidst Geoeconomic Uncertainties,” the forum's cornerstone session featuring Cardoso and Okonjo-Iweala will explore strategic approaches for African economies to build systemic resilience, sustain reform momentum, deepen regional integration, and unlock long-term growth within a fragmented global economy.
The event will also feature key ministerial addresses, including presentations by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, and the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Kingsley Udeh. Their participation underscores the critical need for coordinated fiscal, monetary, and innovation policies in advancing Africa’s long-term economic transformation.
Global Thought Leaders and Key Discussions
Other distinguished participants expected at the two-day summit include:
Indermit Gill, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President for Development Economics, World Bank Group
Harinder Kohli, Founding Director and Chief Executive, Emerging Markets Forum
Prof. Adamu Ahmed, Vice-Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU)
Over the two days, delegates will interrogate critical issues shaping the future of emerging markets, including macroeconomic stability, cross-border payments, financial technology (FinTech), infrastructure development, foreign direct investment (FDI), technology transfer, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Additionally, discussions will tackle pressing structural hurdles such as food price volatility, inflationary pressures, and monetary policy transmission mechanisms across fragile and post-crisis economies.
According to the organizers, the 7th Africa Emerging Markets Forum seeks to foster open dialogue on strategic priorities for developing economies while identifying practical, evidence-based policy solutions tailored to individual national contexts. The initiative reaffirms the commitment of the CBN and its partners toward strengthening regional cooperation, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable, inclusive growth across the continent.
