Capital Markets Development & Securities Regulation
Market infrastructure, listing rules, investor protection, and deepening African capital markets.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your institution still earns most of its margin from products the mobile rails have commoditised, and the board is asking what capital markets development changes about that — this year. The institutions being repriced slowest are the ones that mistake technology adoption for strategy. You leave able to say what your institution should own, what it should partner and what it should exit in capital markets development — with the numbers to defend each.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Partnership With Two Ledgers
A pan-African insurer has signed a fintech partnership in capital markets development: revenue is shared one way in the contract and recognised another way in the books, and the partner’s conduct is now a supervisory topic. Nobody has reconciled the two ledgers since launch.
Your decision: Renegotiate, ring-fence, or exit the capital markets development partnership — before the supervisor reconciles them for you.
IPAT Data Lab™
The capital markets development unit economics at a development finance institution work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a development finance institution.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
A stress-tested capital markets development economics model and a board-grade summary page.
