In line with Vision 2030, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has recognized fintech’s potential for the all-round development of the country’s digital economy and to position it as the FSI leader in MENA and Africa regions. The cornerstone of CBE’s profound development work surfaced with its Fintech & Innovation Strategy in 2019 which further aims to uplift the industry with a supporting structure.
Not to forget, the presence of 44 million unbanked Egyptians and other conducive regulatory factors are further fueling fintech’s growth. To top it all, investments in fintech recorded an all-time high of $167million in the first half of 2022, while Egypt’s median age of 24.7 years has been like the cherry on top.
The event will attract over 350 technology and business heads from the leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across the country.
