“You cannot manage what you do not measure & you cannot grow what you do not finance.” – Dr. Donald Kaberuka, Former President, AfDB
Measurement & financing are the twin pillars of economic management. Without reliable data, we are blind. Without capital, we are stuck.
Capital markets bring both transparency through disclosure & growth through funding. They are vital tools in managing & financing Africa’s future.
Capital market participation across the SADC region remains under 5%, highlighting how much local capital remains underutilised. This signals a missed opportunity for inclusive growth.
Improving financial literacy & access to capital markets is one of the most underused levers for economic development. It is time to prioritise participation so that local economies can fund their own growth on their own terms.
