Neneng’s areas of practice focus on Business Law, Corporate Law, International Investment Law, Finance Law (Fintech & Tax Law), Tech Law, and Telecom Law involving a wide range of other legal issues.

With a specialty in Financial Technology (Fintech), Neneng’s presentation aims at giving an overview of the African Fintech landscape, and how Fintech is driving inclusion and impacting doing business in Africa. Neneng will also touch on the role of regulation for Fintechs in Africa with a focus on the CEMAC regulatory landscape.

Africa, diverse in culture and resources, has great and developing potential for economic growth and development, hence can be attained through trade and most especially cross border/international trade.

However, financial inclusion has become most relevant in providing individuals and businesses with products and services to facilitate doing business in Africa in terms of cross-border payments, transfers, and foreign exchange. This has been influenced by Financial Technology solutions such as mobile banking and mobile money changing business interactions within and across borders. Thus, digital assets are a means of impacting doing business in Africa with technology.

Doing business in Africa comes with its own sets of challenges, including navigating complex multinational regulations and accessing financial services. This is where Fintech, in driving financial inclusion, plays a crucial role in enabling doing business in Africa.

Primerus Members from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa are welcome to attend.
