In its fifth edition, this report focuses on recent developments in Africa's banking sectors and the policy options for all stakeholders.

The study of banking sectors across all African sub-regions includes the results of the EIB survey of banking groups operating in Africa.

Three thematic chapters address challenges and opportunities for financing investment in Africa:

- Investing sustainably in Africa's cities;

- Mobilising agricultural value chain financing in Africa: why and how;

- Remittances and financial sector development in Africa.
