Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking has championed the mobilisation of global capital to fund critical sectors on the African continent through the second edition of its seminal African Markets Conference.
Announcing the conference on Tuesday, the lender said that the flagship event will take place later this month in Cape Town, South Africa, bringing together global institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, and African policymakers to catalyse the flow of capital into the continent’s most critical sectors.
Speaking ahead of the conference, the Chief Executive of Corporate and Investment Banking at Standard Bank Group, Luvuyo Masinda, said AMC 2026 builds on the success of the inaugural 2025 conference, which reframed Africa’s narrative from risk to resilience.
“This year’s engagement bridges the gap between policy ambitions and market realities. Africa urgently needs practical measures to deepen capital pools, improve market liquidity, and strengthen regulatory frameworks that give investors confidence to deploy capital at scale. Mobilising capital is not just about funding projects; it is about building the foundation of a more balanced and inclusive global economy,” says Masinda.
