In this episode of Financing Africa’s Future, Kaara Wainaina speaks with Zareena Camroodien, Chairperson of APSA and Head of Frontline Conduct Supervision at the FSCA South Africa, about pension regulation, risk-based supervision, ESG integration, infrastructure investment and expanding coverage to informal sector workers.
