Headline: Unlocking Domestic Savings: A Conversation with Financial Market Expert, Dr. aisha Diaby
Introduction
As the West African Monetary Union (WAMU) gears up for the 7th Edition of the Public Securities Market Meetings (REMTP) in Abidjan, we sat down with Dr. Aisha Diaby, a distinguished financial market specialist, to discuss the upcoming event, its theme, and the future of the regional financial sector.
Unraveling the Potential of Domestic Savings
Senior Editor (SE): Dr. Diaby, thank you for joining us today. To start, could you provide some context on the significance of mobilizing domestic savings for the WAMU zone?
Dr. Aisha Diaby (AD): Thank you for having me. Mobilizing domestic savings is crucial for our region as it fuels economic growth and reduces dependency on foreign funding. The WAMU zone has a considerable savings rate, and if properly channeled into productive sectors, it can substantially boost our economies and infrastructure progress.
REMTP 2025: A Strategic Platform
SE: Speaking of mobilizing savings, the REMTP 2025 is just around the corner. What makes this event a strategic platform for discussions on this topic?
AD: REMTP is indeed a strategic platform. It brings together key players in the regional financial sector,offering issuers and investors the chance to engage in meaningful dialogue. This year’s theme, “Moving domestic savings,” highlights the need to explore ways to enhance financial market advancement within the WAMU zone. I expect insightful discussions on strengthening the sovereign debt market,increasing institutional investor participation,and advancing financial education and digitization.
Strengthening the Sovereign Debt Market
SE: Enhancing the sovereign debt market seems to be a key focus area.How can this market be strengthened to support domestic savings mobilization?
AD: Strengthening the sovereign debt market involves several aspects. Firstly, improving the regulatory framework can boost investor confidence. secondly, promoting openness and enhancing the smooth functioning of the market would attract more investors. Lastly, exploring ways to diversify the range of instruments available can diversify the investor base and tap into additional pools of savings.
Institutional Investor Participation
SE: Another critical aspect is enhancing institutional investor participation. What role can these investors play in mobilizing domestic savings?
AD: Institutional investors, such as pension funds and insurance companies, can play a significant role. By increasing their participation in the sovereign debt market, they can provide long-term financing, which is essential for infrastructure development and economic growth. Moreover, their involvement can also contribute to the deepening of the financial market, making it more resilient and attractive to other investors.
Financial education and Digitization
SE: Financial education and digitization are also on the agenda. How can these two aspects drive domestic savings mobilization?
AD: Financial education empowers individuals to make informed decisions about saving and investing. By raising awareness about the importance of savings and providing knowledge on various financial instruments, we can encourage more people to save and participate in the financial market.
Digitization, on the other hand, can enhance financial inclusion and reduce the cost of financial services. It can also facilitate cross-border transactions, making it easier for savings to move within the WAMU zone. Additionally, it can support the development of innovative financial instruments and platforms that can tap into domestic savings.
Looking Ahead
SE: Dr. Diaby, what are your expectations for the REMTP 2025, and how do you see it contributing to the advancement of the WAMU financial market?
AD: I expect REMTP 2025 to be a productive event that will foster valuable discussions and connections among attendees. I beleive it will provide concrete solutions and recommendations that can help unlock domestic savings and advance the financial market in the WAMU zone. Ultimately, I hope this event will contribute to the region’s economic growth and development.
SE: Thank you, Dr. Diaby, for your insights.We look forward to the REMTP 2025 and its potential impact on the WAMU financial market.
AD: My pleasure. I look forward to the event as well and the opportunities it brings for collaboration and progress.
