GTR Africa 2026: Growing pains – Making supply chain finance work for Africa
Supply chain finance (SCF) holds enormous potential to transform pan-African trade value chains—but scaling these solutions across the continent is not without its challenges. Against a backdrop of shifting global trade dynamics and tariff pressures, SCF is becoming increasingly critical to supporting suppliers, strengthening resilience, and sustaining livelihoods across key sectors.
In this session from GTR Africa 2026, industry leaders assess the progress made in deploying SCF solutions across Africa, while tackling the barriers that continue to limit its full impact.
🔍 Key discussion points include:
– Barriers to expanding SCF into new African markets, including data privacy, local expertise, and risk management challenges
– The role of technology investment in unlocking the full potential of payables finance
– Aligning pricing of unsecured SCF risk with lenders’ cost of capital and improving price discovery practices
– Addressing capital treatment challenges and exploring solutions from both African and global stakeholders
– The broader benefits of scalable SCF solutions for banks, corporates, and supply chains
