ABOUT THIS EPISODE

What can $1M do in Kigali vs Nairobi? The Capital Consortium breaks down African city investment, diaspora remittances, and why cities now hold more power than countries.

In this week's group chat conversation, we dig into why Kigali, Rwanda has become Africa's top city for global summits, how safety and ease of doing business attract investors, and why Nairobi and Mauritius are investing in Kigali. We also compare African vs Caribbean remittances (Jamaica vs Egypt per person will surprise you), unpack the informal economy and financial literacy, and ask whether African cities should build their own emergency funds after USAID cuts.

Then each of us answers: if you had $1 million to invest in one African or Caribbean city, where would it go?
