Newly elected President of the ACI Financial Markets Association of Tanzania Charter, Ms. Naomi Mafwiri (second from the left), who is also Absa Bank Tanzania Markets Sales CIB and E-Channels, chats with some members of the association at an occasion of the Tanzania charter’s leadership exchanging ceremony held in Dar es Salaam recently.

*Pledging to Elevate Financial Markets Practices and Ethical Standards

Absa Bank Tanzania Markets Sales CIB and E-Channels Senior Official, Naomi Mafwiri, has been elected as the new President of ACI Tanzania Charter, a position she will serve for the next two years. Formed in 2002, ACI FMA Tanzania is the standard bearer for financial markets professionals in Tanzania.

ACI FMA Tanzania is affiliated with ACI – Financial Markets Association, a Paris-based global umbrella body of financial markets associations, which is a non-profit-making association founded in the interests of the financial markets dealing profession, essentially international. ACI Tanzania abides by Tanzania's laws and regulations and the FX Global Code of Conduct recognized by ACI – The Financial Markets Association. ACI FMA is the largest trade association in the global financial markets with over 13,000 members in 60 countries.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam at the occasion of the Tanzania chapter’s exchanging of leadership, the new ACI President, Ms. Naomi, said the decision to contest for the position as ACI President was not taken lightly. ‘I had to consult some other members, and after deep thought, I realized the crucial role the financial markets community plays in shaping values and ethics among key players in Tanzania, and that fact compelled me to step forward to work on the key ACI Tanzania’s objective to influence industry behavior and uphold best market practitioners,’ said Ms. Naomi.

She said the current ACI Tanzania chapter includes four candidates from Absa Bank Tanzania, making a significant milestone and showcasing the trust and confidence placed in our bank by the financial markets community in Tanzania.

'Engaging with ACI aligns us with efforts to promote best financial markets practices, and we are excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities this collaboration will bring.'

Ms. Naomi added, ‘I want to take this opportunity to commend the previous committee for launching the ACI UDSM branch. However, we will aim at introducing more initiatives such as facilitating certification of our back office, middle office, risk, and front office members, citing that up to date, only 50% of financial markets participants are certified.’

‘We will also be working on ACI identity, where we will enhance our visibility through office location and registration, which is crucial. Publicity is equally important, and our challenge is to ensure that our banking community recognizes and understands the fundamental role we play.'

She mentioned other key factors as stakeholder engagements, saying that acknowledgment of the transformation in markets, initiatives such as a move from being a money-based Monetary Policy approach to an Interest-based Monetary Policy Framework, issuance of circulars, and guidelines to promote stability in the financial sector, together with ongoing sessions among key players enhances confidence and transparency in our market. ‘I promise to continue with these engagements so as to create harmony and encourage an environment where business thrives and the economy excels,’ she added.

ACI Tanzania Charter is made among stakeholders, which include the banking sector, Ministry of Finance, Bank of Tanzania, DSE, CMSA, and TBA.

“Pamoja na hayo yote, bado pamekuwepo na changamoto kwenye upatikanaji wa huduma ya bima inayokidhi mahitaji ya Imani zao za kiroho, hivyo bima ya Takaful yenye mazingatio ya Sharia za Imani ya kiislam, ambayo msingi wake ni kanuni za ushirikiano, uchangiaji wa majukumu kwa pamoja, ulinzi wa pamoja kwa washiriki, wachangiaji, na ushirika wa manufaa kwa pamoja pale ambavyo mmoja wa wachangiaji hupata changamoto bila ya kutegemea itaenda kuwa mkombozi kwa wale wenye uhitaji wa bima hiyo."

Kassim Hussein alisema wakiwa kama waanzilishi katika tasnia hiyo kwa Tanzania Bara katika kutoa bidhaa mbalimbali za Takaful zinazowapa usalama na amani Waislamu na wasio waislamu, wakijikita zaidi katika kuleta masuluhisho katika kanuni za ushirikiano na msaada wa pande zote kwa uwazi, usawa, na kuepuka mambo ambayo yanapingana na imani za Kiislamu.

“Ni muhimu kutambua kuwa Takaful sio tu bidhaa, inawakilisha mabadiliko makubwa katika tasnia ya bima, ni uthibitisho wa azma yetu ya kuhudumia wateja wetu mbalimbali kwa uaminifu na uelewano, tunasadiki kwa dhati kuwa bima inapaswa kuwa inapatikana kwa wote, bila kujali imani zao za kidini, na Takaful inatuwezesha kufikia hili bila kuhatarisha maadili ya kiadili."

“Tunapoanza sura hii mpya ya Takaful, tunatambua jukumu kubwa lililo mbele yetu, tunaelewa kuwa lazima tuwe na ubunifu wa mara kwa mara, kubadilika, na kukabiliana na changamoto zitazotukabili, tuwahakikishie kuwa, tutaendelea kujitoa na kubaki kwenye viwango vya juu vya weledi, wajibu wa fidia, na kuridhika kwa wateja”, aliongeza Dk.
