Mrs. Flora Tiny indicated that the financial market globally, has shifted from the traditional commerce to e-commerce and as such, “it’s about time our industry followed suit. We have no other choice but to change our money Game”.

The AFTA CEO extended her utmost gratitude to all financial traders all over the continent who made it to the programme and for making financial traders award a success. “Africa has risen and is taking the financial market by the horn.”

Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah, the President of Women in Forex Ghana, bemoaned the level of poverty in the Sub Saharan Africa in the midst of abundant human resources which can be leveraged upon to leapfrog poverty.

“Africa has had her share of ridicule in the financial arena and has been known as the poorest amongst the rest of the continents. The prevalence of poverty in Africa makes the continent the least respected, even though the continent abounds in riches, natural resources, youthfulness and intellectual prowess.”

Nonetheless, Asantewah noted that there is a paradigm shift and the African continent is wild awake and aware, and strategically changing the poverty narrative through the insurgency of digitalization and technological innovations on the financial market.

The Women in Forex President charged the youths to take advantage of the opportunities in the financial market in order to change the perception about the African continent.
