The CEO of the NBF, Lynette Chen was invited by the SADC DFRC to deliver a presentation on “the role of the private sector in the industrialisation of SADC” at the SADC DFRC’s CEO Forum held in Luanda, Angola in early December 2015. The presentation highlighted that industrialisation will be led and financed by the private sector, as long as there is a good market and an enabling business environment.
Deeper interaction between the private sector and the 35 Development Finance Institutions represented by the SADC DFRC, could result in co-investment opportunities on key projects in the region. The NBF and SADC DFRC will be signing an MoU to enable this partnership and collaboration to take place in 2016.
