Description

Across Africa, a new financial awakening is unfolding. With over $700 billion in pension assets under management, according to figures presented at the All-Africa Pension Funds Summit led by Uganda’s National Social Security Fund (NSSF), the continent is beginning to view its own savings as a force for shared prosperity and growth.

The idea of pooling these funds into a joint African investment platform has gained momentum as leaders seek to reduce reliance on external borrowing. By directing pension resources into regional infrastructure, energy, and technology projects, African nations could turn retirement savings into drivers of inclusive development.
