Women’s World Banking (WWB) will host its seventh annual Capital Markets Conference April 30 and May 1 in New York City. Investment bank J.P. Morgan will sponsor the event. In attendance will be senior managers of microfinance institutions (MFIs) and leading professionals from the mainstream financial sector. The two-day event will consist of panel discussions on key capital market issues: the volatility of the current global capital markets, industry consolidation, the state of debt and equity markets, capital structure optimization, risk management and future outlooks. The second day will also feature a competition in which select MFIs will collaborate with J.P. Morgan professionals to develop solutions to current challenges in the microfinance industry. Solutions will be presented to the audience. Additional information on the event is available here.
The invitation-only event is open to WWB network members, as well as select non-network member MFIs, investors, donors, raters and other industry service providers.
