Financial Markets Indaba, in collaboration with Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe, recently hosted the 5th edition of the Zimbabwe Diaspora Business Forum at the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in London.

The Forum brought together diaspora professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, government representatives and private-sector executives to explore investment opportunities, business partnerships and avenues for greater economic participation in Zimbabwe.

Building on previous engagements and the establishment of the Diaspora Professional Sector Clusters, the Forum provided a platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange and direct engagement with institutions offering practical investment and business solutions.

A key highlight was a presentation by Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe, showcasing financial solutions tailored to the diaspora, including mortgage and property financing, real estate investment opportunities, green financing for solar systems and boreholes, savings and investment accounts, transactional banking and business banking solutions for entrepreneurs seeking to establish or expand operations in Zimbabwe.

The economic contribution of diaspora professionals extends far beyond remittances. Their financial resources, international networks, professional expertise and entrepreneurial experience represent significant opportunities to stimulate investment, facilitate skills and technology transfer, strengthen local enterprises and support sustainable economic growth.

Through the Zimbabwe Diaspora Business Forum and its sector focused initiatives, Financial Markets Indaba remains committed to bridging the gap between diaspora professionals and opportunities in Zimbabwe, facilitating structured engagement that translates investment interest, skills, knowledge and international connections into tangible economic outcomes.

Our vision is to move beyond dialogue towards meaningful partnerships, investment mobilisation and sustained diaspora participation in Zimbabwe’s economic development.

Financial Markets Indaba recently co-hosted the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) Ministerial & CEO Roundtable in Cairo, Egypt.

Held under the theme “From Exploration to Markets: Strengthening Africa’s Geological Data, Mineral Value Chains, Responsible Sourcing and Long-Term Supply Chain Security,” the high-level dialogue centred on a critical question at the intersection of mining policy, industrialisation and investment: how can Africa transform its vast mineral endowment into sustainable economic value, stronger domestic and regional value chains, and long-term prosperity for the continent?

AMSG's Cairo Ministerial & CEO Roundtable advances Africa's mineral value-chain agenda, focusing on geology, beneficiation, finance and ...

At the heart of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) Ministerial & CEO Roundtable was a fundamental question: What can African countries build around their mineral resources before they enter global markets?

Co-hosted by Financial Markets Indaba, the AMSG Ministerial & CEO Roundtable was held in Cairo as part of the official programme of the Egypt Mining Forum 2026. The high-level meeting brought together African mining ministers and senior government officials, mining executives, investors, financial institutions and other key stakeholders to examine how the continent can move beyond geological potential and mineral extraction towards integrated, investable and globally competitive mineral value chains.

For AMSG, achieving this transition requires aligning three critical pillars across the mineral development cycle: development assurance, policy assurance and financial assurance. Connecting these elements can help African countries create the conditions to attract long-term capital, develop processing and value-addition capacity, strengthen domestic and regional value chains, and capture a greater share of the economic value generated by Africa’s mineral resources.
