"Financing Africa" is a landmark study on the financial sector in Africa. Using the most recent data available, it documents recent trends in Africa’s financial sectors, progress in the provision of financial services, the state of the continent’s financial services infrastructure, and the efficiency of African financial systems. It takes stock of recent changes and reviews the long-term prospects for African finance and proceeds to provide policy analysis and recommendations for policymakers, development partners, and financial institutions.

Making Finance Work for Africa takes a panoramic view of Africa's financial systems, both at the large scale ("finance for growth") and the smalle scale ("finance for all"). It presents a policy approach that addresses African priorities and can work in African conditions. It challenges the applicability of some conventional views on a range of issues from securities markets and banking regulation to the organization of microfinance institutions.
