About ACMF
Africa’s capital markets stand at a pivotal juncture, holding immense untapped potential. With a combined market capitalization of $1.5 trillion across African exchanges, only 5% of African companies currently access public equity, signaling a significant growth opportunity. This, coupled with the rising interest from global institutional investors seeking portfolio diversification and higher yields, underscores the timeliness of establishing the Africa Capital Markets Forum (ACMF).​
The forum addresses critical gaps in the continent's financial ecosystem, particularly in mobilizing the $100+ billion annual infrastructure financing needed for sustainable development. By fostering well-functioning capital markets, the forum will facilitate access to long-term capital for crucial infrastructure projects, including transportation, energy, and telecommunications.
​​
Recognizing the varying levels of development across African exchanges, the forum will serve as a platform for peer learning, harmonization of standards, and the adoption of best practices.​​​
​​The Africa Capital Markets Forum (ACMF) will act as a vital bridge, showcasing investment opportunities and connecting global investors with African issuers, intermediaries, and projects, thereby enhancing capital flows to the continent. Crucially, it will enable essential dialogue among policymakers, regulators, and market participants to address regulatory barriers and strengthen market structures across jurisdictions.
