Capital Corridors: Rethinking How Money Moves Across Africa

The infrastructure of capital flow in Africa is still colonial in design. New corridors must be built — not just for money, but for trust.

By Phanice of Africa

Money moves through systems. And in Africa, those systems were designed for extraction, not circulation. The financial infrastructure that connects African economies to each other — and to the world — still bears the architecture of colonial trade routes.

This provocation calls for the deliberate construction of new capital corridors: pathways for investment, trade finance, and development capital that are designed by Africans, for African priorities.
