The Rwanda Capital Markets Authority published an update on capital market stakeholders launching a grassroots outreach programme in Gisagara District, using the inaugural Capital Market Community Engagement to widen participation by encouraging households to convert small, regular savings into long-term investments. Sessions focused on how the capital market works, the protections in place for investors and issuers, and the role of the regulator, alongside practical guidance on opening an investor account through a licensed intermediary. Participants were also guided to set financial goals and timeframes and choose suitable products such as shares, bonds, or collective investment schemes. The campaign is expected to expand to other districts, with each stop combining public education and on-the-spot services intended to leave participants with better information, an active account, and a clear plan for next steps in the market.
