“Wealth must not remain in the hands of a few. Capital markets give us the tools to democratise wealth.” – Oscar Onyema, Group CEO, Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX)
Capital markets offer some of the most accessible and effective tools for growing savings, scaling businesses, building capital and protecting wealth. In economies where access to credit is limited, they provide an alternative for raising finance for both businesses and individuals.
They also come with some of the highest standards for transparency, disclosure and investor protection, making them powerful instruments for ordinary people to build long-term value.
But to benefit from these tools, financial literacy is key. Understanding how the markets work and the risks involved is the first step towards inclusive growth and sustainable wealth creation.
