Hi, I'm Grace Ingabire πŸ‘‹πŸΎ

πŸ“Š Financial engineering for stronger African capital markets

I am a Rwandan statistician and MSc Financial Engineering candidate using Python, quantitative finance, and economic research to explore how capital markets can support Rwanda's long-term development.

My central question is:

How can a deeper, safer, more liquid, and more inclusive Rwanda Stock Exchange mobilize savings, finance productive investment, and strengthen the Rwandan economy?

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ό My mission

I am building reproducible, policy-oriented financial models that can help:

  • improve market liquidity and price discovery;
  • broaden investor participation;
  • strengthen portfolio and systemic-risk analysis;
  • support long-term financing for Rwandan businesses;
  • translate complex financial evidence into practical policy options.

🧠 My quantitative toolkit

  • Python for financial-data engineering and visualization
  • Financial econometrics and time-series modeling
  • Derivative pricing and stochastic modeling
  • Machine learning and deep learning for finance
  • Portfolio optimization and asset allocation
  • Market, credit, liquidity, and systemic-risk analysis
  • Scenario analysis and model-risk governance

πŸš€ Flagship project

An open financial-engineering research program examining liquidity, concentration, volatility, investor participation, portfolio risk, and the economic-development potential of Rwanda's capital market.

πŸŽ“ Academic foundation

🌍 Where I am heading

I aspire to contribute to institutions working at the intersection of capital markets, financial stability, development finance, and inclusive economic growthβ€”particularly in Rwanda and other emerging and frontier economies.


Building smarter models, asking better questions, and engineering markets that serve people. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Όβœ¨
