The Capital Market Authority of Rwanda has called on businesses to strengthen their readiness if they are to raise capital through the market.
Speaking at the 2026 RSE Listings Forum, Head of Market Development at CMA, Karekezi Ngabonziza said Rwanda’s capital market now stands on firmer ground, supported by a regulatory framework that promotes transparency, disclosure and credibility.
He said companies seeking investment must demonstrate sound governance, reliable financial reporting, a clear business strategy and structures that meet investor requirements. He added that access to capital depends not only on business potential, but also on the level of preparation and credibility presented to investors.
Held on 19 March 2026 under the theme Capital Market Connect: Preparing Businesses for Investment Success, the forum brought together entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers to examine how more businesses can use the capital market to support growth.
