LMA & ICMA Annual Africa Summit 2026

Overview

Organised by two of the world’s most influential market associations, this new summit is designed by the industry, for the industry. It aims to bring together over 1,000 senior stakeholders from across Africa and internationally—including issuers, investors, regulators, DFIs, and banks—for two days of strategic dialogue, networking and technical exchange. The programme will focus on:

• Capital market development and regional integration across both the loan and bond markets
• Sustainable finance and climate transition
• Regulatory innovation and financial inclusion
• Blended finance, FinTech, and digitalisation
• Market infrastructure and trading platforms

The landmark event has the backing of major financial institutions including South Africa’s four leading banks, Absa, Nedbank, RMB, and Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and other local African, regional and international institutions, including the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), among others. Together, this support underscores the Summit’s role in bringing Africa’s debt markets together, as well as creating a collaborative, inclusive, industry-led platform to advance Africa’s loan and bond markets.
