The Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dr. Emomotimi Agama, has projected that opportunities in digital assets across Africa and the Middle East could reach $10 trillion by 2030, citing the region’s youthful and tech-savvy population as a key driver of innovation and growth.
Agama made the statement during his acceptance speech following his election as Vice Chairman of the Africa/Middle East Regional Committee (AMERC) of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
His appointment also secures him a seat on the Board of IOSCO, the highest decision-making body of the global securities regulatory organization, where he will serve until 2026.
