The Challenge of Market Harmonization

My current research at the Lex Lata Centre for International Law & Comparative Constitutionalism focuses on a critical paradox in the African economic landscape: while the political will for integration exists under the AfCFTA, the regulatory infrastructure remains deeply fragmented.

Key Areas of Investigation

1. Regulatory Arbitrage: How disparate capital market rules create loopholes that hinder cross-border investment.
2. Dispute Resolution Mechanisms: The efficacy of current AfCFTA protocols in resolving state-investor disputes.
3. Digital Protocols: The intersection of fintech regulation and traditional securities law.

I am exploring how a unified legal framework can unlock the estimated $2 trillion potential of African capital markets.
