Roundtable: Navigating RWA tokenisation in EMDEs and regulatory approaches

This roundtable will explore how tokenisation of real-world assets (RWA) is emerging across Emerging and Developing Market Economies (EMDEs), and how regulators and public authorities can shape enabling environments that support responsible innovation. The session emphasises regional knowledge-building and sharing, and practical policy design that regulators can apply to African contexts.
