The entries reaffirm their findings when they say Africa\u2019s banking market are amongst the most exciting in the world. The categories that caught my eye were innovation in banking \u2013 and this year\u2019s entries reflect the transformative role of fintech and also blockchain technology \u2013 as well as deal of the year, which is every year a very competitive category.\u00a0 Equity markets were a little slower in 2017, but we saw some interesting deals on the debt side and also transformative infrastructure financing structures. The quality of the entries, and sophistication of the solutions being presented, reflect a buoyant sector in continuous evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The awards which are held under the high patronage of the African Development Bank and, are sponsored by The African Guarantee Fund, Banco Nacional de Investimento (BNI), Groupe Cr\u00e9dit Agricole du Maroc and the Bank of Industry.
