Welcome to Your Seat at the Table
Dear Reader
Bloomberg covers Africa in 2 paragraphs. Reuters in 3.
We go deeper.
Today, Seatedwit Intelligence officially launches — independent
intelligence and analysis covering Cameroon, CEMAC, Africa, and
the global economy.
WHY NOW?
• Africa will have the largest, youngest workforce on earth by 2050.
• The AfCFTA is building the world's biggest free-trade zone.
• From Lagos to Nairobi to Douala, the continent's financial
infrastructure is growing faster than anywhere on the planet.
But the intelligence to navigate it has been locked behind
expensive terminals and foreign newsrooms.
That ends today.
Every edition delivers:
📊 Market Snapshot — indices, currencies, commodities
🏛️ Policy Watch — central banks, government, regulation
💼 Deal Flow — M&A, IPOs, venture capital
💰 Independence Corner — actionable wealth-building strategy

💰 INDEPENDENCE CORNER
Rule #1: Pay Yourself First.
Before any expense, automatically move 10% of every income into
an investment account — even if it starts at $10 per month.
Wealth is built by habit, not by size.
ACTION THIS WEEK: Open (or name) your investment account and
schedule an automatic transfer for payday.
