LMA West African Loan Markets Conference

The West Africa Loan Markets Conference will bring together senior market participants, policymakers, borrowers, lenders, development finance institutions and advisers from across the region for a day of presentations and high-level discussion and networking. Reflecting the themes of the draft agenda, the conference will explore the opportunities and challenges shaping West African loan markets, including market liquidity, infrastructure and project finance, the role of DFIs and MDBs, evolving financing structures, security documentation and enforcement, benchmark reform and the future direction of regional capital flows.

Now firmly established as one of the region’s leading loan market events, the conference will provide a platform for thought leadership, practical insights and candid discussion, with contributions from leading local and international market participants. Attendees will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships and help shape the future development of West African finance.
