“The path to financial sovereignty lies in deepening domestic capital markets.” – Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Financial sovereignty is not built on aid or external dependence, but on the capacity to fund priorities with local capital. Capital markets serve as the critical infrastructure for this purpose, playing a pivotal role in mobilising savings, pricing risk and financing growth on our own terms.
At an individual level, especially in Africa where credit is scarce and informal activity dominates, capital formation is essential. Participating in capital markets should be a key part of any long-term financial strategy for those seeking true independence.
