WACMaC Conference 2023

PRESS RELEASE

September 20, 2023

The 3rd biennial West Africa Capital Market Conference (WACMaC) 2023, will be hosted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ghana, and AMFAO, in collaboration with the West Africa Securities Regulators Association (WASRA), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the West Africa Capital Market Integration Council (WACMIC), and the West African Monetary Institute (WAMI).

The Conference will bring together a distinguished array of experts, regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders who will share their knowledge, experiences, and strategies in order to proffer solutions to the region’s infrastructure deficit. The WACMaC 2023 provides a unique platform to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and forge partnerships that will help shape the future of our capital markets. This deficit poses a significant challenge to the region’s sustainable development. Thus, to address this gap, there is a growing need to adopt innovative financing mechanisms, and sustainable financing options to mobilize the desired funds to meet the region’s critical infrastructure needs, foster economic growth, and achieve sustainable development goals.

This year’s conference is particularly significant as over 300 stakeholders will converge in the vibrant city of Lagos at the Eko Hotels and Suites Lagos from October 25- 26, 2023 to hold discussions around the general theme, ‘Infrastructural deficit and sustainable financing in an integrated West Africa Capital Market’.

Also, kindly note that while attendance is strictly by invitation; admittance will be upon registration and presentation of an access card at the meeting venue.

Signed

Lamido Yuguda

DG, SEC and Chairman, WASRA
