One of the most acclaimed and charismatic American jazz musicians, Joshua Redman, is the headliner of the second edition of the Standard Bank Acácia Jazz Festival, to be held on November 28, in Maputo, for the 125th anniversary celebrations of the implementation of this financial services provider in Mozambique.

Standard Bank, Africa’s largest financial services organisation, has become a founding signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Banking – a framework aimed at driving sustainable economic development and ensuring the prosperity of current and future generations.

Maputo hosted, on the 11th of September, the fourth edition of the Financial Times Summit in Mozambique, during which Standard Bank’s managing director, Chuma Nwokocha, defended the need for the country to focus on capacity building of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) so that they can effectively take advantage of the opportunities that open up with the implementation of projects
associated with the exploration of natural gas in the Rovuma basin, Cabo Delgado province.
