Larry Madowo has finally launched a business show that is expected to pitch different business ideas across different african countries on BBC TV following his appointment as the head of business desk.
The show will give viewers an in-depth look at current money and business topics from across Africa, as well as offer practical and inspirational financial advice from African entrepreneurs.

According to BBC, each week a team of expert presenters will bring diverse stories, focusing on personal finance, the economy and entrepreneurship. There will be stories of success and the latest news on big money decisions affecting African’s lives – and tips for those who are learning how to “do it themselves” when it comes to their finances.

Larry Madowo, BBC News Africa Business Editor, says: “A programme like this has never been seen or made before in Africa and I’m sure our audiences will fall in love with it. We have more African journalists covering African business than ever before and we’re excited to share their incredible storytelling with viewers across the continent in English, and soon in Swahili, French and Hausa.

“To understand the correlation between Afrobeats music and saving culture, the business opportunities arising from more African millennial’s keeping beards or where to buy roast meat using cryptocurrencies, Smart Money is the show for it – We’re here to make sure your money works as hard as you do.”
Smart Money will also be launching ‘Biashara Bomba’ (Swahili) in the coming weeks and ‘Questions D’Argent’ (French) and in Hausa next year.
