  "summary": "Aishah Ahmad, founder of the Bridgforte Centre for Global Impact and chair of the Graça Machel Trust’s Expert Leaders’ Group, argues that Africa must help shape the rules of global finance. In an interview with Nume Ekeghe, Ahmad discusses the importance of trust in digital finance, stating that access to financial systems has expanded faster than public confidence. She proposes a Trust Architecture framework consisting of five elements that can help assess how trust is earned in financial systems: infrastructure integrity, institutional accountability, technology governance, ecosystem coordination, and cultural confidence. Ahmad believes that Africa's innovations and insights should play a significant role in shaping global financial policies, as its markets are producing solutions that can address the challenges of trust in digital finance.",
