Initial Perspectives on Strategic and Emerging Banking Issues in Key African Markets

After developing and sponsoring nine surveys on banking in South Africa, this is the first PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, which also covers banking in the rest of Africa, being Egypt, Francophone West Africa (Sénégal and Côte d’Ivoire), Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.

This survey has been developed by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Dr Brian Metcalfe and is based on those previously conducted in South Africa.


Areas covered in the survey include:

  • background on participants;
  • intensity of competition in different
  • parts of the market in each country surveyed;
  • most important developments in the financial markets of each country surveyed, together with participants’ criticisms of the banking industry in those countries;
  • questions on drivers of change, threats, pressing issues, past successes and importance of specific markets; and
  • other topics considered of importance to banks.
