Africa’s banking map tells a bigger story than just numbers. Notice the geographical spread of the continent’s largest #banks by revenue — and with it, the balance of financial power. #SouthAfrica, #Nigeria, #Egypt, and #Morocco dominate the landscape. Each is home to multiple banks crossing the $1B annual revenue mark, signaling deep financial ecosystems that extend beyond their borders. These markets act as financial anchors for the continent. But look closer — you’ll notice outliers like Ecobank in #Togo and KCB in #Kenya. They prove that leadership in #African finance isn’t confined to the largest economies. Regional champions can rise from smaller markets and still influence cross-border capital flows. What this map reveals: Concentration: Just a handful of countries dominate Africa’s banking revenues. Regional champions: Banks like Ecobank (Togo) and KCB (Kenya) demonstrate scalability outside the “big four.” Potential gaps: Large swathes of the continent remain unrepresented. That’s less about demand and more about untapped opportunity. The next decade of African #banking won’t just be about the biggest banks getting bigger. It will be about who can capture underserved regions, build digital-first ecosystems, and integrate seamlessly into the #AfCFTA single market. Finance has always been the bloodstream of economies. For #Africa, the map shows where the heart currently beats — but the next pulse might come from entirely new places. Where do you see the next financial powerhouse emerging from in Africa? 🔄️ Repost to your network to educate others.

“Today in Tunisia, once you apply for the Startup Act label, you can get a salary for up to three founders per startup for a whole year from the government for you to build your venture and build the company.” — Med Khaled Mezghanni This weekend on Backend by Gerald Black, I sit down with Khaled, Program Manager at Green4Youth to explore what’s fueling Tunisia’s growing startup ecosystem. From government-backed founder support to ecosystem shifts that prioritize Small Growing Businesses (SGBs) over the traditional startup model, Khaled brings refreshing insight into how Tunisia is rethinking support for early-stage companies, especially in the green and sustainable sectors. 🎧 Tune in to learn how real ecosystem development looks on the ground in North Africa: ▶️ Web: https://lnkd.in/e-cnptEf ▶️ Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e_mErMfz ▶️ Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/eUXbkYYQ #BackendByGeraldBlack #WeekendListen #TunisiaTech #StartupAct #Green4Youth #SGBs #AfricanInnovation #DiscoveringAfrica
