26 Aug 2011
It has been said that Africa lacks effective financial markets, however, in an African context, South Africa happens to be one of the most endowed in terms of finance*. Even so, it is vital for South Africa to keep producing experts in the finance field to ensure future success in both enterprise and the macro-economy. It is an integral component in the creation of a stable and increasingly strong market environment. Hence, the training and mastery of finance is a required intervention. The Master of Management in Finance and Investment (MMFI) is a programme that Wits Business School (WBS) has created to fulfil that intervention.
