EuroFinance's 12th annual Effective Treasury & Finance in Africa 2025 | EuroFinance | Economist Group | 23 March 2025 | Hilton London Canary Wharf, S Quay Square, Marsh Wall, London E14 9SH, UK

This year’s theme “Managing treasury through change” set the scene for the year ahead with markets set to remain unpredictable and sensitive to political, economic and regulatory change. Treasurers must be proactive and agile to manage the unique conditions of the African market and thrive.

We brought together senior-level treasury professionals at this essential one day event to explore challenges including accurate forecasting, navigating FX volatility, trapped cash, automation and financing. Panels, case studies and the lively roundtable discussions allowed peers to share experiences and discuss how they are successfully building efficiencies, utilising technology, working with partners and structuring teams to support the needs of the business.
