The conference, our correspondent gathered, is a combination of presentations and interactive sessions.
FBN Capital Limited, it was further learnt, put up this programme in line with its commitment to provide a platform that will facilitate interaction for identifying sustainable growth opportunities in Nigeria.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘An economy at a crossroads: thriving in the face of new realities.’
Through the conference, FBN Capital aims to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on how to return the Nigerian economy to growth, temper inflation, boost job creation, and increase awareness on how the government was responding to on-going fiscal and monetary challenges.
The programme will provide an avenue for investors to interact with leaders of the economy, key policy makers in government and senior executives of leading corporate institutions.
Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at FBN Capital, Lolade Sasore, stated that, “Over the past five years, we have hosted the annual conference in line with our commitment to facilitating the debate on developing our market, and promoting Nigeria as one of the leading investment destinations in sub-Saharan Africa for both domestic and foreign investors.
“We will discuss the subject of fiscal stimulus and an expansionary posture; Nigeria’s stance on attracting foreign investment, and explore the workings of the liberalized FX markets. We will also examine some identified success stories in this challenging environment.”
