His Royal Highness will share his experience in advocating for sustainable economic development and the creation of a more equitable financial system.

Emir Sanusi began his career as a banker until he was appointed Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2009 and then Emir of Kano in 2014. He won an international reputation as a reformer following the bail-out of nine lenders soon after becoming Governor of the Central Bank.

Blake Goud, CEO of the RFI Foundation, and the RFI Summit organizers feel honored to have HRH Emir Sanusi delivering an opening keynote address.

The RFI Summit will take place on 26 and 27 April 2018 at the Atlantis Hotel by Giardino in Zurich, Switzerland. The summit is an initiative of the RFI Foundation and Swiss Arab Network to build awareness of shared values that can bring socially responsible investing (SRI), environmental, social and governance (ESG) and Islamic finance together to increase their positive impact.
