The Rwanda Capital Markets Authority announced the completion of its Capital Market Issuer Roadshows 2025, a nationwide outreach programme designed to increase participation in Rwanda’s capital markets by helping potential issuers understand how to access equity and debt financing through formal markets. Delivered with the Rwanda Stock Exchange, Rwanda National Investment Trust Ltd and the Private Sector Federation, the engagement reached more than 700 enterprises across all four provinces and Kigali. The roadshows focused on small and medium-sized businesses, cooperatives and other prospective issuers and provided practical guidance on routes to market funding, including stock exchange listings, corporate bonds and commercial paper, real estate investment trusts and other specialised vehicles. Rwanda National Investment Trust highlighted the need to strengthen long-term saving and the role of pension schemes and unit trusts in underpinning capital market development, while the Rwanda Stock Exchange emphasised that public listings can also introduce operational discipline and visibility; Grain Millers Plc cited its experience of growth and operational formalisation following a public offering. The CMA positioned the concluded roadshows as the start of a wider strategy to expand access to capital market opportunities beyond Kigali and to sustain engagement between enterprises, regulators and capital providers.
