Objectives

The primary role of the Financial Sector Development Department (OFSD) is to help the regional member countries (RMCs) increase reach (e.g. financial inclusion), depth (e.g. financial intermediation), and breadth of financial systems (e.g. capital market, cross-border development). The mission of the Department has four long-term objectives: (i) development of a vibrant private sector through an inclusive access by households and enterprises to financial services; (ii) strengthening markets participants; (iii) developing efficient capital markets, and (iv) deepening regional financial integration.
The Financial Markets Division (OFSD3) of OFSD will focus on projects aiming to create more efficient financial markets and institutions capable of mobilizing domestic savings and allocating scarce capital.  Because investment finance provided by the development community supplies only a minute fraction of the capital used by private agents across Africa, OFSD3 will endeavor to channel the Bank Group’s resources in ways that develop national financial systems.
