>>Partnership for Africa's development - Update
Africa is trying to find ways to create opportunities for inter-linked capital markets, which would make it easy for investors to trade securities in any African stock market without restrictions. Business people from different African countries have gathered for a three day world conference in Johannesburg to discuss economic developments and the African Stock Markets. High ranking banking officials and financial experts will also be present. Rand Merchant Bank and FNB are mentioned. Jill Mann, the head of Originators for Africa, says that Africa has a lot of debt and needs to learn how to do away with that debt. She also says that we need to put into place a sequenced plan of good economic information. The conference will look at the regulatory framework.
