The Rwanda Capital Markets Authority (CMA) used the Young CEOs Business Forum organised by the Afri-Global Cooperation Programme to encourage young professionals to view Rwanda’s capital market as a practical route to personal wealth creation and national development. More than 300 participants attended the forum, which focused on entrepreneurship, micro, small and medium enterprises, and building sustainable legacies in the era of artificial intelligence. CMA’s Corporate Communication and Education Manager, Magnifique Migisha, described the capital market as a trusted channel to convert income into long-term assets while supporting investment flows into productive sectors, and pointed to accessible instruments including equities, Government and corporate bonds, and collective investment schemes. Participants were encouraged to open a central securities depository account or other investment account, understand available options, and start investing with small amounts, while the Ministry of Public Service and Labour’s Permanent Secretary, Clément Kabiligi, promoted early adoption of a saving and investment culture.
