\u201cMembers had the privilege to meet with President Kagame at Urugwiro Village. The session has been an opportunity to discuss new opportunities for our members KIFC,\u201d the Alliance announced in a tweet.<\/p>\n

Rwanda joined the body in 2020 and has since established partnerships with financial centers in Casablanca, Qatar, Belgium, Luxembourg and Jersey. \u201cThe board members have underscored their willingness to strengthen cooperation,\u201d the alliance added.<\/p>\n

Also on their three-day agenda include events on Fintech, sustainable finance and meetings with players in Rwanda\u2019s financial sector. Earlier in the day, KIFC senior management team received the visiting executives for a discussion on Rwanda\u2019s vision, journey and achievements thus far, in establishing Kigali International Financial Centre.<\/p>\n

The team was also received by Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Uzziel Ndagijimana for an overview of Rwanda’s financial sector. Minister Ndagijimana commended the team for choosing Rwanda to host their meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are counting on your experience to grow our young financial centre.\u201d Meanwhile, the same group also held a meeting with Rwanda Development Board (RDB) CEO Clare Akamanzi<\/p>\n

While it is considered as a young financial center, KIFC, has gradually emerged as Africa\u2019s most promising financial centers alongside Casablanca and Mauritius. Just recently, KIFC launched a Pan-African membership Network (KIFC Club) with 24 initial members.<\/p>\n

The club among others aims to create a pan-African financial community, enabling members to promote their operations and network with national and international business leaders.<\/p>\n
