“African stock exchanges must be engines of transformation, not just platforms for trading.” – Oscar Onyema, NGX Group

A stock exchange is not just a marketplace for buying and selling shares, it is a symbol of national ambition and embodies personal aspirations. When leveraged thoughtfully, it channels domestic savings into industries, infrastructure and innovation that shape the real economy.

To truly serve Africa, our capital markets must reflect and finance the future, not just record the present. They must help turn ideas into industries and ambition into opportunity, while building the kind of future we want to retire into and the one our grandchildren can thrive in.

Participation is the cornerstone. Our individual participation, interacting with others, powers this engine of transformation.
