Of note, one of the most anticipated content sessions of FMAS:24 will be ‘FX and CFDs in Africa: Key Industry Trends’, taking place exclusively at the new Trader Zone.

Africa as a Hub for FX and CFDs

Africa is poised to take a great leap forward in the retail trading space given several inherent advantages. A massive pool of potential traders, investor interest, and new opportunities from incoming brokers setting up shop has created a unique atmosphere.

FMAS:24 is a celebration of this trend, showcasing all that the continent has to offer for brokers, service providers, and other elements of the financial services industry. These topics will be covered in detail during the upcoming session, ‘FX and CFDs in Africa: Key Industry Trends’, which will take place on May 21, 12:00-12:30 at the Trader Zone.

The session will be run by Christoforos Panagiotou, Africa Regional Manager at Fxview. Mr. Panagiotou brings to the table a wealth of expertise garnered over a decade-long tenure in the Forex & CFDs industry, serving in various capacities within prominent brokerage firms. For the past 7 years he has held a strong position in the African Region, enhancing market presence and fostering growth across the continent.

This creates the perfect backdrop for this session, as he looks to lay bare the industry and frame it for all participants. Indeed, as Africa joins the global financial markets, its unique economy fuels forex and CFD trading innovation.

Finally, expect to learn about the digital transformation's impact on trading – the role of technology, social platforms, and automated systems democratizing market access. This is one session you cannot afford to miss this year.

Beyond retail trading, prospective attendees can also explore other content verticals, part of a two-day track that covers other distinct areas: blockchain & digital assets, fintech, payments, and of course online trading.
