I’m an ex-IMF financial sector wonk who is passionate about fintech and especially digital assets.
I may not be posting any Kiffmeister #Fintech Digests this week as I’m at the Bank of Ghana’s Cedi@60 Conference in Accra. Normally conferences don’t slow me down, but even in downtown Accra, 3G and WiFi connectivity are very spotty. So it’s near impossible to scan for developments and post them!
