Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda\u2019s capital market stakeholders launched a grassroots outreach campaign in Gisagara District, using the inaugural Capital Market Community Engagement to connect directly with communities and channel routine savings into long-term investments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis programme is about taking the capital market to the people,\u201d said Pierre-Ce\u0301lestin Rwabukumba, Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Stock Exchange. \u201cBy simplifying account opening and showing how small, regular contributions grow over time, we remove barriers and widen participation practically.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Capital Market Community Engagement initiative was launched in Gisagara District.<\/p>\n

During the sessions, market players explained how the capital market works, the protections in place for investors and issuers, and the role of the regulator. They also gave new investors a simple step-by-step path to open an account through a licensed intermediary, set clear financial goals and timeframes, and choose suitable products such as shares, bonds, or collective investment schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cGisagara is proud to host the first leg of the campaign,\u201d said Jerome Rutaburingoga, Mayor of Gisagara District in the Southern Province. \u201cFinancial inclusion is central to our development agenda. When families invest formally, we strengthen resilience, create opportunity, and support the growth of our economy as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Ndora Sector, resident Felix Mirimo opened an investor account and committed to a monthly contribution. \u201cInvesting through the capital market gives me a clear plan for my family,\u201d Mirimo said. \u201cEven a modest amount each month can grow, helping with school fees today and building a foundation for a small business tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

By taking capital market players closer to communities, the campaign seeks to close information gaps that keep money in short-term or informal savings. A stronger base of local investors supports a more active market, while companies gain better access to long-term funds to buy equipment, expand production, and grow value chains.<\/p>\n

The campaign will extend to other districts, with each visit combining public education with on-the-spot services so that participants leave with better information, an active account, and a plan for their next steps in the market.<\/p>\n
