Question 1

Is Nova a publication or a financial institution?

Accepted Answer

Both, deliberately. Nova publishes editorial and data on diaspora finance, and structures financing for diaspora households. The publication earns the trust the financing depends on.

Question 2

Who is Nova for?

Accepted Answer

Members of the global diaspora — living in Europe, the UK, North America, or other hubs — who want to build, buy, or finance projects in their country of origin.

Question 3

Is this only for one region?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform speaks to the global diaspora. Our current corridor depth is strongest in Africa–Europe and Africa–North America, but the framework is corridor-agnostic.

Question 4

Are your articles independent?

Accepted Answer

Editorial is produced separately from any financing engagement. Sources are disclosed on every piece, and our standards page documents the boundary.

Question 5

Where do your data come from?

Accepted Answer

Primary sources — central banks, IMF, World Bank KNOMAD, national statistical offices — plus Nova's own surveys with disclosed methodology.

Question 6

Is paying cash always wrong?

Accepted Answer

No, but it is rarely as efficient as it feels. Cash deployed into a multi-year build is working capital not deployed elsewhere; the opportunity cost is real.

Question 7

How does Nova handle currency risk?

Accepted Answer

By structure, not by hope. FX exposure should sit with the party best equipped to bear it — typically neither the household nor the local bank.

Question 8

Do you publish your financing terms?

Accepted Answer

Indicative ranges are published; final terms depend on the specific corridor, project, and household profile.
