According to the World Bank, SMEs represent about 90% of businesses and account for more than 50% of employment globally. Across Africa, these enterprises are the backbone of our economies, driving innovation, creating jobs, and sustaining livelihoods.

Yet however, many SMEs remain locked out of the very capital they need to grow, innovate, and scale. Entrepreneurs are asked for collateral before they are asked about their vision, impact, or potential. This raises an important question: perhaps the challenge is not that SMEs are failing to access finance, but rather whether our financial systems have evolved sufficiently to respond to the realities of African entrepreneurship. Where is the patient financing flowing to?

Where is investment flowing in Africa?

Is this just a shift in where money goes, or are we seeing a deeper change in how investors make decisions?

Markets such as Kenya ($2.8B), Ghana ($3.7B), and Angola ($4.0B) are illustrative of this shift. While South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria continue to anchor continental investment flows, a growing share of capital is now targeting economies that are demonstrating clearer reform trajectories, improving regulatory predictability, and deliberate efforts toward economic diversification.

The question for Africa is no longer whether capital is coming, but how effectively we can channel it into building resilient businesses, creating jobs, and driving inclusive economic growth.
