We are delighted to announce the next edition of the African Banker Awards that will take place during the African Development Bank Annual Meetings in South Korea. We are now accepting entries from banks and companies in the financial service sector. It has been a mixed year for the banking sector as they dealt with two years of slower economic growth. Nevertheless, activity has been strong, new innovations have been rolled out, and many institutions has strengthened their appeal, evident through strong or new credit ratings. Fin tech has undoubtedly dominated headlines and is changing business models. We expect another strong year of entries as banks continue to strengthen not only their balance sheets but their position within the global banking landscape. We invite you to share with us your successes by entering and taking part in the Awards and hope to see you in May in Busan, South Korea to celebrate African excellence in banking. Financial institutions (banks, micro-financiers, investment banks, development finance institutions and other financial services institutions as relevant) are invited to compete. Complete your entry forms online by Monday, 20 March 2018 at 23.59 GMT. Judging Criteria can be found on the individual entry forms and the competition rules are on our website: http://africanbankerawards.com From: IC Publications
