“Let us be owners of capital, not just labourers in our own economies.” – Dr. Donald Kaberuka
Ownership turns citizens from passive economic participants into active stakeholders. Too often, people contribute only their labour, while the rewards of capital ownership remain concentrated in a few hands.
Capital markets provide the bridge to change this, enabling broad-based ownership of companies, infrastructure & the engines of growth. As African economies take greater control over their natural resources, the ability to mobilise & allocate domestic capital becomes essential.
When more citizens participate in capital markets, economic growth rewards them, first through fair wages & again through profits & dividends from shared ownership. This dual benefit is how economies become wealthier, fairer & more resilient.
