From pandemics to inflation, from energy crises to growing debt levels\u2026 while Africa\u2019s banking sector has until now withstood multiple challenges and their consequences, the future looks ever-more uncertain. Risks are emerging on several fronts: defaults, falling profitability, liquidity issues. All this while the industry undergoes a profound restructuring to adapt to the emergent fintech universe, set to steal their lunch as key drivers of financial inclusion.<\/p>

How are African banks coping with the upheaval? What are their perspectives for the short and medium term?<\/p>

On the occasion of the publication of the ranking of Africa\u2019s TOP 300 Finance Champions, and a month ahead of the African Financial Industry Summit in Lom\u00e9 28-29 November, the editorial teams of The Africa Report, Jeune Afrique and AFIS bring you an x-ray of Africa\u2019s banking sector, and asks, \u2018What next\u2019?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
