“Africa must build capital markets that work not only for elites, but for the everyday saver.” – Ibukun Awosika, Chairwoman, First Bank of Nigeria (former)
If capital markets are to serve Africa’s future, they must be inclusive. That means building platforms that cater to the realities of the everyday investor.
There is a case for redesigning access so that everyone can participate, build wealth and share in the continent’s growth. From mobile-based investing to simplified instruments and investor education, more can and should be done to make financial literacy accessible.
Every account opened, every share bought, every dividend reinvested by everyday investors helps spread the message and strengthen confidence in Africa’s capital markets.
