African Opportunities and Challenges for the Receivables Finance Sector

Geoffrey Wynne was a panelist at the RFIx - Receivables Finance International Convention 2021, sponsored by BCR.

Receivables financing is a key catalyst for business and ecomonic growth in Africa with strong potential for increases in both one and two-way intra-African and global trade. Geoff's panel, "African Opportunities and Challenges for the Receivables Finance Sector," explored the following:

• How deep, transparent, robust and accessible are the financial markets across Africa?
• The level of risk across the continent's countries
• The fragmented nature of players in the African financial markets
• The banking system, returns on African markets and diversification opportunities
• The potential for rapid adoption of new technologies in the African market
• Is post-shipment financing enough?
• The state of the receivables finance market and its potential for growth
