The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs (MoWSA) and FSD Ethiopia, is convening the “Women Who Move Markets” Symposium.
The symposium brings together women leaders from across the business and financial sectors, including Women CEOs, Managing Directors and Founders of Share Companies, PLCs and commercial enterprises; women serving on corporate boards; and women business owners, founders and entrepreneurs leading established businesses and innovative startups.
In her opening remarks, Rahel Kassa, Deputy Director General of ECMA, underscored the Authority’s commitment to empowering women in the financial sector and highlighted the importance of increasing women’s participation in Ethiopia’s emerging capital market as part of ECMA’s broader market development efforts.
Over the one and a half-day symposium, participants will engage in panel discussions, presentations and interactive conversations focused on opportunities, challenges and practical pathways for advancing women’s participation and leadership in the capital market.
