“Africa’s growth will not be led by aid. It will be led by trade and investment.” – Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General, World Trade Organization
Africa must lead with investment, exports and trade. That is where real transformation lies. Sustainable development cannot rely on handouts.
Capital markets are essential to this approach, as aggregators of capital, allocators of risk and engines of private sector expansion. The future will be financed from within, through savings and investments by Africans.
To truly harness the power of Africa’s capital, wide participation in capital markets is necessary. Every account opened, every share bought, every dividend reinvested by everyday investors helps strengthen confidence in Africa’s new development approach.
