Le groupe nigérian Access Bank se prépare à une introduction en Bourse à Londres. Une stratégie pour s’affranchir des primes de risque africaines et financer les champions industriels du continent.
While Access Bank's London IPO represents smart capital diversification, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede's vision to circumvent the colonial-era "African risk premium" exposes how Western financial markets still extract value from the continent's growth story. The real question isn't whether African banks can access cheaper European capital, but when Africa's own capital markets will mature enough to keep that wealth, and control, at home.
