“The informal sector will only unlock its true power when it is connected to formal finance.” – Rebecca Enonchong, CEO, AppsTech, Cameroon
For many African economies, bridging the gap between informal enterprises and formal financial systems, including savings platforms, credit facilities and structured capital market instruments is no longer optional. Traditional industrial-age employment models can no longer absorb the continent’s growing and youthful population.
Africa’s economic future depends on integrating the informal sector into the formal economy, providing access to scalable markets, structured finance and clear growth pathways.
As traditional industrial models evolve, access to formal finance will be the key that unlocks productivity at scale, driving economic growth and meaningful inclusion in Africa.
