Egypt to host "Seamless North Africa" conf. Monday

CAIRO, June 12 (MENA) - Egypt is set to host the financial technology "Seamless North Africa FinTech" conference on June 17-18, the Central Bank said in a statement Wednesday.

This is the second time Egypt hosts the event, according to the CBE statement.

The CBE plays a leading role in dealing with challenges that hinder the expansion of new financial products and services, said Lobna Hilal, deputy governor of the bank.

"Seamless North Africa" will be held under the auspices of Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli and will bring together different players, such as financial institutions, startups and venture capital.

It is meant to assess new techniques and strategies in order to offer better services to citizens and consumers in the Arab world.
