Afreximbank and ITFC ratify US$250million finance facility to support Africa

Afreximbank and ITFC ratify US$250million finance facility to support Africa

The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) have signed a US$250million facility to provide funds for the Bank to advance procurement of COVID-19 vaccines and drive a trade-based economic recovery.

The agreement was signed between Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank; and Eng. Hani Salem Sonbol, CEO-ITFC, during the official visit of Prof. Oramah and the Afreximbank delegation to ITFC Headquarters in Jeddah.

The ITFC facility will help advance Afreximbank’s COVID-19 response programme for countries in which both organisations operate, securing vital goods for the health of local populations and enabling a swifter return to economic activity. The facility will also enhance the Bank’s capacity to provide trade finance resources at a time of critical need for the continent’s export development and industrialisation.

The agreement extends Afreximbank’s cooperation with ITFC, the leading provider of trade solutions for OIC member-countries, with both organisations working to promote trade cooperation and demonstrate the benefits of South-South cooperation.

The enhancement of regional trade cooperation and reinforcement of trade between African and Arab nations promises significant economic opportunities, and remains a strategic goal for both parties.

The facility significantly facilitates Afreximbank’s execution of strategic interventions. It will promote employment, increase economic activity, and expand tax receipts by stimulating economic dynamism.

Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank commented:

“The facility agreed between Afreximbank and the ITFC will allow us to scale-up our impactful interventions in African trade finance as well as our continent’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Africa’s long-term economic growth must be outward-looking as much as intra-continental, and today’s agreement reflects a desire among leaders from both Arab and African trade finance institutions to increase our collaboration.”

Eng. Hani Salem Sonbol, CEO ITFC said:

“ITFC and Afreximbank through this facility mark another milestone in our mutual mandate to support the recovery of our member-countries, especially in Africa. Delivering vaccines to the continent is a prerequisite to saving African lives and livelihoods, safely reopening economies and resuming their economic development agenda.”
