“The absence of domestic investment confidence often tells you more than the presence of foreign interest.” – Donald Kaberuka, former AfDB President
When local investors hesitate to engage or remain on the sidelines, it often signals deeper underlying issues within the market around confidence, structural barriers or communication that must be addressed.
Domestic conviction and strong market standards are essential for attracting and retaining investment. Domestic participation is therefore crucial for capital markets to grow and thrive, as local investors bring familiarity, consistency and long term commitment that create trust and momentum.
By investing with confidence and strategy, they help create a stable foundation for long term growth which is the groundwork for attracting and sustaining broader investment.
