Angola will host on August 27-28 the Meeting of the Ministers of Finance and Governors of the Central African Banks, the African Caucus. The meeting is an important opportunity for African leaders, represented by their Ministers of Finance, Planning and Governors of the Central Banks, to jointly present in a coordinated and organized way the major and current concerns affecting the economies of the African continent, namely the building of infrastructures and industrialization.

Among the issues scheduled to be addressed by six panels, include the General Overview of the Regional Economy, Economic Transformation and Diversification, Discussion on the 2015 African Caucus Memorandum as well as the Financing of Regional Projects connected to infrastructure.

Angola was formally designated as the leader of the African Caucus Group in 2015 at the event that took place from September 3-4, 2014 in Khartoum, Republic of Sudan.

Founded in 1963 as the African Group of Governors of the World Bank Group and the IMF, the African Caucus aims to strengthen the voice of Governors of African Banks on important issues related to the socio-economic development of Africa, within the Bretton Woods Institutions.
