Over the past few years the economies in Africa have battled with sluggish growth, currency volatility and lower commodity prices. Reserve managers must ask themselves what impact the policy and macro drivers will have on capital preservation, management of liquidity, new asset allocation strategies to improve earnings and the search for yield when traditional safe haven investments have been slipping into negative rates.

The conference also provides practitioners with a closed forum environment to discuss these pressing issues with their peers. Today, official sector investors recognise the benefits of these events in sharing experiences to explore answers and benchmark best practice.

• Oduetse Andrew Motshidisi, Former Deputy Governor, Bank of Botswana - will be chair the 2-day conference
