LMA & ICMA Africa Summit

25-26 February 2026

 

We don't just connect capital – we create it.

Africa's growth agenda depends on the ability to structure, mobilise and deploy capital across borders, markets and sectors.

 

At the LMA & ICMA Africa Summit 2026, Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking brings together market leaders to explore how loan markets, debt capital markets and structured solutions are creating capital that drives sustainable investment, strengthens financial ecosystems and supports long-term development across the continent.

 

Complexity is not a barrier – it's a signal.

 

It signals where markets are evolving, where opportunity is emerging and where experience matters most. At Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking, we work at the intersection of layered markets, cross-border flows and fast-moving capital.

By bringing together origination, structuring, distribution and sustainable finance, we turn complexity into clarity and ambition into funded outcomes.

Because when capital is shaped with insight and purpose, opportunity doesn't just emerge – it's created.
