Summary :

Ecobank CEO Jeremy Awori argues that foreign investors often overlook African opportunities due to a perception gap regarding risk, noting that the continent actually offers competitive, dollarized returns that outperform many OECD markets. He advises investors to mitigate the complexity of Africa's diverse regulatory environments by partnering with established local financial institutions. Furthermore, Ecobank is actively fostering economic development through strategic initiatives, such as a €300 million partnership with Proparco to support agriculture and programs to upskill women in business.
