MOGADISHU, Somalia – The BandhiggaGuulaystayaasha Soomaaliyeed (BGS) forum, hosted by Hormuud, Somalia’s premier telecommunications firm, is gearing up for its annual event on September 10, 2024, at the Sahal venue in Mogadishu.

This year’s forum, themed “Fintech in Somalia: Challenges, Opportunities & Future Prospects,” will delve into how financial technology can catalyze economic development in one of Africa’s most challenging economic landscapes.

The BGS forum, a cornerstone for private sector dialogue in Somalia, will assemble a spectrum of participants including business magnates, government officials, academic experts, and innovative entrepreneurs. The discussions are poised to scrutinize the fintech sector’s current status, the adequacy of regulatory frameworks, and the broader economic impacts of technological advancements in finance.

Among the forum’s highlights are keynote addresses by fintech trailblazers, interactive panel sessions, academic paper presentations, and an exhibition area where local fintech startups will showcase their solutions. Additionally, an awards ceremony will honor those making significant strides in Somalia’s fintech arena.

“Fintech transcends mere technology; it’s pivotal for economic expansion and financial inclusivity in Somalia,” stated BGS. “This forum is essential for harmonizing our regulatory landscape with fintech’s rapid evolution, ensuring both security and innovation.”

The event will also reveal insights from three pivotal research projects. These studies will offer a detailed analysis of fintech’s landscape in Somalia, assess the regulatory climate, and evaluate fintech’s economic contributions.

The BGS forum has established itself as a vital arena for discussing business challenges and prospects, underscoring Somalia’s dedication to fostering a vibrant and inclusive economic future through technological innovation.
