The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has announced the postponement of the 2025 African Economic Conference (AEC), earlier scheduled to hold from Dec. 7 to Dec. 8.
The AfDB in a statement on its website said a new date for the conference jointly organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) would be communicated after confirmation.
According to the statement, the AEC remains one of the continent’s foremost platforms for economists, policymakers, academics and researchers to deliberate on Africa’s development challenges and opportunities.
It said the conference had, since its inception in 2006, provided a strategic avenue for generating innovative and practical solutions through policy dialogue, research presentations and knowledge exchange among experts.
“We offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this change may cause all our stakeholders. A new date will be announced as soon as it is confirmed,” it said.
It encouraged participants, institutions and interested stakeholders seeking further information to contact the conference team via aec2025@afdb.org. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
