Event Theme:
“THE ZAMBIAN FINANCIAL SECTOR, RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS”
Why FINBEX:
A finance specific event like FINBEX facilitates an organised exposure to the niche. Exhibitors get a more sincere
profile of visitors as they will come on finance or related business.? The event is also inspired by the need to inflate
statistics of the bankable population in Zambia which is at appalling levels encouraging Zambians to bank and invest
The role of the SME’s cannot be overemphasised in any economy hence need to financially empower them. New
and existing banks and financial service providers have left businesses and the general public with numerous options
to choose from, therefore FINBEX is the only platform that brings financial services and products all under one roof
enabling your target market to find services that suit their needs. ?The need to address and cushion the impact of
the current global financial crisis.
