Senior Fellow in the Center for African Markets. Economist and policy practitioner with expertise in Sub-Saharan African capital market development, institutional investment structures, and cross-border regulatory frameworks.
Dr. Amara Osei-Bonsu is a Senior Fellow at the ELDR Institute Center for African Markets, where his research focuses on capital market institutional development, diaspora investment structures, and the regulatory architecture required to channel diaspora financial flows into structured institutional investment across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Prior to his Institute appointment, Dr. Osei-Bonsu served in advisory roles with multilateral development finance institutions across West Africa, focusing on capital market development, securities regulation, and institutional investor capacity building. His policy work has contributed to regulatory reform initiatives at the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ghana Securities and Exchange Commission, and the ECOWAS Regional Capital Market Programme.
At the Institute, Dr. Osei-Bonsu leads the African Capital Markets research program — producing the Institute's cross-jurisdictional market intelligence series and developing the institutional investment frameworks that international investors require to engage African markets systematically rather than opportunistically.
