Since their inception in 2018, the Financial Afrik Awards have grown into a premier platform for Africa’s financial and economic leadership, bringing together policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and financial sector experts to debate, analyze, and celebrate the continent’s transformative economic developments.
AMIFA was recognized for its unwavering commitment to financial inclusion, particularly its efforts to expand access to financing for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and low-income populations across multiple African regions. The award underscores AMIFA’s role as a socially responsible financial institution driving sustainable, inclusive growth.
Receiving the trophy, Mr. Mouhssine Cherkaoui, Chief Executive Officer of AMIFA Holding, stated that, “This award recognizes the commitment and relevance of the Groupe BCP’s strategy, deployed through AMIFA, in promoting financial inclusion. It reflects the concrete impact of our actions in improving access to financing for MSMEs and low-income populations. AMIFA actively works to reduce the financing gap for hundreds of thousands of economic actors.”
“We dedicate this award to all our clients and partners who trust us, as well as to our more than 1,100 employees who, every day, carry our values of proximity, citizenship, innovation, and performance with dedication, enthusiasm, and ambition,” he added.
Created by the Banque Centrale Populaire Group, AMIFA operates in eight African countries; Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Guinea Conakry, Madagascar, Mali, Rwanda, and Senegal, with a share capital of 897,398,000 dirhams (354,721,686,644 Rwandan Francs).
The recognition at the Financial Afrik Awards reinforces AMIFA’s standing as a key player in African microfinance, highlighting its continued efforts to deliver inclusive financial services that generate lasting value for local economies.
