Finance Forward Volume III Issue I
28 May, 2012 •This 2012 issue looks at whether Africa’s population boom is a dividend or a liability; how new financial service offerings and greater mobile phone penetration are improving African farmers’ profitability; the emerging focus on tailoring financial services specifically to low-income women; and the impact that global economic trends will have on Africa’s future prospects.
The Finance Forward series aims to collect and present key findings on recent trends, driving forces, and relevant issues impacting upon the financial sector in Africa. The series intends to help leaders scan the larger, interlocking environments from which trends and themes emerge and interpret the contents based on the context of their own institutions, projects and aims.
