Such a pleasure to engage with @SemaforAfrica Managing Editor @Alexisak at the #Next3Billion Summit. Africa is 54 countries, not one risk story. Yet too often, a shock in one market raises the perceived risk of an entire continent. Better data can help change that. By opening the #GEMS database, we can give investors a clearer picture of actual risk and help lower the cost of capital. At @IFC_org, we are also taking more risk ourselves, mobilizing $3 for every $1 of IFC financing, and bringing more patient capital to businesses that need time to grow. The capital is there. Our job is to help it reach the opportunities. #UNGA81

#Africa’s next generation is ready to build. Great energy on stage with my friends @AlikoDangote and @NOIweala, and an inspiring exchange with young Africans from across the continent and the diaspora. My message to them: Africa has the capital, talent, and potential to shape its own future. Now we need to turn that potential into investment at scale: roll back the red tape that holds businesses back, mobilize more African and global capital, manage risk smarter, and build bigger, more integrated markets. The ambition in the room was infectious. I came away with even greater confidence in what Africa can achieve. #UNGA81 @AlikoDangoteFdn
