Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Olayemi Cardoso, and the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, will headline the 7th Africa Emerging Markets Forum with a high level fireside dialogue in Abuja on July 29 and 30, 2026.
The forum, hosted by the CBN in partnership with the Emerging Markets Forum, EMF, and the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa, CSEA, will bring together policymakers, central bankers, ministers, development partners, private sector leaders and economists to discuss strategies for navigating global economic uncertainties.
With the theme, “Building Resilience Amidst Geo-economic Uncertainties,” the event will focus on how African economies can sustain reforms, deepen regional integration and promote long term growth despite increasing global economic fragmentation.
The Cardoso-Okonjo-Iweala dialogue is expected to examine practical approaches to strengthening economic resilience, while ministerial keynote addresses will be delivered by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, and the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Kingsley Udeh.
Other notable participants include World Bank Chief Economist, Indermit Gill, Emerging Markets Forum Founder and CEO Harinder Kohli, and the Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Professor Adamu Ahmed, alongside senior policymakers, academics, development partners and business leaders.
Discussions will cover macroeconomic stability, regional economic integration, cross border payments, financial technology, infrastructure development, foreign direct investment, technology transfer, artificial intelligence, as well as food price volatility, inflation and monetary policy transmission in fragile economies.
According to the organisers, the forum aims to promote open dialogue on issues affecting emerging markets while identifying practical, evidence based policy solutions tailored to the needs of African economies.
The organisers said the event reflects the shared commitment of the CBN and its partners to strengthening regional cooperation, promoting sound policymaking and advancing innovative strategies that support sustainable, inclusive economic growth across Africa.
