Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Ernest Addison has said that Ghana and the world have witnessed a remarkable shift with the rapid emergence and evolution of financial digitalization and transactions. <\/b><\/p>\n

He said the actualization of novel technologies in the payment ecosystem has revolutionized business transactions, reshaped customer behaviour, and redefined the nature of commerce.<\/p>\n

Presently, he said \u201cwe stand on the precipice of a global digital era, and it could not be more imperative than now that Africa embraces and accelerates the digitalisation progress in trade and finance to level the playing field globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Addison was speaking during the launch of this inaugural 3i Africa Summit 2024 in Accra on Monday, February 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an advantage in the digitization race as Africans. This is due to the bulging youthful population who are tech-savvy, the high mobile phone penetration, the consistent expansion of mobile network access and more importantly, the rising homegrown FinTech solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese immense opportunities provide fertile grounds for accelerating digitalisation. And while these are commendable, it is important to highlight the potential negative impact a lack of requisite investments in African FinTechs could have on the innovations and scalability of solutions in achieving the desired impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Below is his full address…<\/p>\n

Good morning and a warm welcome to the launch of the maiden 3i Africa Summit. I would like to start off by acknowledging and extending my heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency, the Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for gracing us with your presence today. Your attendance here this morning is a testament to your support, which we do not take for granted. Thank you.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ghana and the world has witnessed the remarkable shift with the rapid emergence and evolution of financial digitalization and transactions. The actualization of novel technologies in the payment ecosystem has revolutionized business transactions, reshaped customer behaviour, and redefined the nature of commerce. Presently, we stand on the precipice of a global digital era, and it could not be more imperative than now that Africa embraces and accelerates the digitalisation progress in trade and finance to level the playing field globally.<\/p>\n

We have an advantage in the digitization race as Africans. This is due to the bulging youthful population who are tech-savvy, the high mobile phone penetration, the consistent expansion of mobile network access and more importantly, the rising homegrown FinTech solutions. These immense opportunities provide fertile grounds for accelerating digitalisation. And while these are commendable, it is important to highlight the potential negative impact a lack of requisite investments in African FinTechs could have on the innovations and scalability of solutions in achieving the desired impact.<\/p>\n

Ladies and Gentlemen, to a great degree, the lack of funding can significantly stunt the growth of the FinTech movement in several ways. Without sufficient capital, brilliant ideas, and prototypes of FinTech startups solutions with the potential to address the diverse financial service needs have failed to progress to production. Furthermore, a FinTech is only as strong as its members and in that same vein, a lack of funding could ultimately impact a FinTech\u2019s ability to attract and retain premium talent.<\/p>\n

The regulatory aspect is another major reason we cannot ignore the issue of deficient funding in the FinTech space. This could hinder FinTech companies\u2019 ability to navigate regulatory requirements and meet compliance standards, which we all agree are non-negotiables, especially in Ghana\u2019s and Africa\u2019s financial industry. From the regular engagement with FinTech startups as part of the Bank\u2019s innovation nurturing role, it has emerged that most of these nascent companies generally lack investor visibility. Hence, the need to address the information gap between investors and FinTech startups to stimulate the payment ecosystem. This will help unleash the full potential of FinTech startups to contribute meaningfully to the economic development of the African continent.<\/p>\n

Against this background, the upcoming 3i Africa Summit is designed as a platform for governments, businesses, investors, regulators, innovators, and thought leaders to discuss and collaborate on measures to unlock Africa\u2019s full potential by harnessing the potential of FinTech. The Summit, which is premised on innovation, investment, and impact, is being organised by the Bank of Ghana and Development Bank Ghana, in partnership with the Monetary Authority of Singapore through its subsidiary, Elevandi, organisers of the globally acclaimed Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF). The Summit will take place over three days from 13th \u2013 15th May this year in Accra, under the theme \u2018From Innovation to Impact: Investing in Africa\u2019s Financial Sector to drive Africa\u2019s Transformation\u2019. <\/b>Among other things,<\/p>\n

Ladies and Gentlemen, the 3i Africa summit 2024 will be a major catalyst for promotion and innovation in financial service, which is why we encourage participation of all relevant stakeholders within the ecosystem. We urge all innovators, financial institutions, the media, industry players, investors, start-ups, technology players and all other stakeholders to join us make history together with this maiden summit to catapult the FinTech revolution in Africa even further.<\/p>\n

Let me conclude by quoting Mr. Ravi Menon at the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival. \u201cEverything we do in FinTech must have a larger purpose. Yes, there is money to be made, costs to be cut, opportunities to be seized. But FinTech is more importantly;<\/p>\n

To the DBG and Elevandi, I salute you for agreeing to partner Bank of Ghana to put together this historic event, and also for your unwavering dedication to developing a tech-savvy society, promoting financial inclusion to the people of Ghana and beyond. Through your efforts, you will continue to empower people, including that grandmother producing shea butter in the Northern Region and selling in Accra and beyond.<\/p>\n

Africa\u2019s future lies in leveraging digital technologies. To this effect, we firmly believe that the 3i Africa Summit, which we launch today, will steer the financial sector in adopting technology comprehensively to improve the delivery, efficiency, convenience, and inclusivity of financial services in Africa.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for your attention.<\/p>\n
