The meeting focused on the macroeconomic outlook across MTN’s key markets, including South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, as well as the role of the digital economy in advancing sustainable growth across Africa.

“Given MTN’s pan-African presence and position, as well as our role in advancing digital and financial inclusion, the discussion centred on the macroeconomic outlook across our key markets of South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. In particular, we discussed the power of the digital economy to drive sustainable growth across the continent.”

Concluding the meeting, Mupita underscored the importance of international collaboration in advancing Africa’s digital transformation agenda.

“By working with partners from across the globe, we can speed up Africa’s digital transformation. We appreciate the opportunity to engage constructively with the IMF leadership, and look forward to more engagements ahead.”
