The Angola Capital Markets Commission, in partnership with Media Rumo, convened the fifth Capital Markets Forum to assess challenges and opportunities facing Angola’s capital market. Participants identified limited financial literacy as a key constraint, while highlighting new company listings, a broader investor base and increasingly mature financial instruments as opportunities for market development. In opening remarks, Angola Capital Markets Commission Chair Elmer Serrão emphasized the market’s role in mobilizing savings, financing companies and supporting economic diversification. He reviewed the market’s development through the establishment of the commission and the Angola Debt and Securities Exchange, as well as the contribution of the privatization program, and stressed the need for greater trust, transparency and innovation.
