Afreximbank downgrade dispute raises questions on loan categorisation
African Union's African Peer Review Mechanism has challenged Fitch Ratings' downgrade of the African Export‑Import Bank, arguing the move rests on a misinterpretation of its sovereign loan portfolio. On 4 June, Fitch lowered Afreximbank's long‑term foreign‑currency issuer rating from BBB to BBB‑—a notch above junk—with a negative outlook. The agency attributed the downgrade to elevated credit risk, citing an estimated non‑performing loan ratio of 7.1 %, primarily due to sovereign exposures to Ghana, South Sudan and Zambia classified as NPLs. The APRM asserts that Fitch's classification is flawed and inconsistent with Afreximbank's own disclosure of an NPL ratio of 2.44 % as of end‑March. The AU‑established body emphasises the bank's status as a multilateral lender created under a 1993 treaty, which binds member governments—including Ghana and Zambia—as signatories, shareholders and founding members. APRM contends such loans are grounded in intergovernmental cooperation rather than standard commercial terms, so treating them as NPLs misrepresents their nature. Fitch defended its methodology, stating that its supranational rating decisions adhere to globally consistent and publicly available criteria, and highlighting that their analysis clearly identified rating drivers and sensitivities. The agency maintains sovereign exposures showing delayed repayments meet its threshold for classification as non‑performing, irrespective of legal structures or treaties. In that sense, the downgrade aligns with accepted analytical standards. ADVERTISEMENT APRM's critique zeroes in on that threshold. It argues that sovereign repayment negotiations are routine diplomatic engagements, not signs of default. It remains concerned that Fitch's decision conflates financial dialogue with credit impairment. The body has formally called on Fitch, Afreximbank and other African institutions to convene technical consultations and reassess the rating, emphasising the importance of contextually intelligent credit assessments. Beyond the immediate dispute, this episode resonates with a broader continental debate over the relevance and fairness of global credit‑rating frameworks applied to African multilaterals. Africa's longstanding concerns that Western rating methodologies fail to grasp local realities and may unfairly inflate borrowing costs have sparked momentum for alternative mechanisms. Among these, an Africa‑led credit‑rating agency is under development, envisaged to begin operations by September 2025, aimed at providing sovereign ratings that reflect regional economic and institutional contexts. Central to the debate is Afreximbank's evolving lending strategy. Under outgoing president Benedict Okey Oramah, the Cairo‑based lender has aggressively expanded its footprint, increasingly financing private sector projects across the continent and taking calculated sovereign exposure. Supporting growth in under‑served markets like Zimbabwe and Nigeria, the bank grew its asset base from around US$7 billion in 2015 to approximately US$40 billion in 2024, with deposits rising to US$37 billion. That growth has attracted scrutiny. Fitch has highlighted what it sees as elevated concentration of corporate and sovereign risk, pointing to an NPL ratio that exceeds its internal threshold. Observers note that up to 92 % of Afreximbank's lending is directed at commercial businesses, and certain sovereign loans carry interest rates as high as 6.875 % over benchmark rates—much higher than traditional development finance institutions. Proponents of the APRM's position, including lead credit‑ratings expert Misheck Mutize, argue that supplementary indicators such as capital adequacy, collateral density and profitability should carry mitigating weight. Mutize points to a strong equity ratio of 19 %, risk‑weighted capital at 21 %, internal capital generation through profits, and loan collateral cover for 84 % of the portfolio. These factors, he suggests, are downplayed in the rating downgrade despite being explicitly acknowledged in Fitch's own analytic framework. He warns that over‑reliance on contested NPL figures can breach the methodology's balance principles. ADVERTISEMENT Not everyone supports APRM's framing. Analysts note that countries like Zambia officially halted repayments to Afreximbank in 2021, and South Sudan failed to honour its obligations, prompting legal recourse in London. Zambia's treasury has openly stated its debt will be restructured. Against this backdrop, Fitch's interpretation that certain sovereign debt has become non‑performing appears defensible under global standards. This dispute underscores a tension: Afreximbank's assertive growth strategy has boosted its developmental reach and institutional clout, yet it must reconcile that dynamism with risk and transparency expectations imposed by global credit agencies. With Oramah set to step down later this month, the new president will face a pivotal choice: maintain aggressive expansion as the bank charts an independent path, or recalibrate operations to conform more closely with multilateral development bank norms—a course change that could preserve borrowing benefits but limit growth prerogatives. Beyond institutional implications, the outcome has broader financial consequences. A downgrade to BBB‑ tightens Afreximbank's borrowing costs, heightens the risk premium for countries swayed by its lending, and complicates its mission to finance intra‑continental trade. That may squeeze African exporters and traders relying on the bank's funding. Policy stakeholders are paying attention. The APRM's call for dialogue and transparency signals a pushback against the perceived hold of Western agencies over African financial destiny. Meanwhile, the African Development Bank is developing a Continental Financial Stability Mechanism that may borrow under a regional rating—another step towards financial sovereignty.

The Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) and African Union Commission (AUC) Set to Advance Ocean Priorities at the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) Side Event
At the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), the African Union (AU), through its various institutions including the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), will showcase a united and strategic front in catalyzing ocean action to realize Africa's Sustainable Blue Economy aspirations. The AU side event titled 'Accelerating Action to Meet Africa's Sustainable Blue Economy Aspirations', scheduled for June 12, 2025, at the UNOC3 Blue Zone, will bring together high-level policymakers, development partners, private sector representatives, civil society actors, and regional institutions. Co-organisers The side event will be co-organized by the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), in collaboration with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and AU-IBAR. The initiative will highlight Africa's growing consensus that its aquatic wealth, when sustainably managed, can serve as a transformative engine for economic resilience, food security, and climate adaptation. Background and Purpose Africa, surrounded by some of the world's richest marine biodiversity, strategic trade routes, and extensive blue carbon ecosystems, will continue to harness the potential of these assets. Through the African Blue Economy Strategy and Agenda 2063, the AU will use this side event as a continental platform for reflection, alignment, and momentum-building towards SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and related blue economy priorities under Agenda 2063. The objectives of the event will be: • To reflect on Africa's achievements and aspirations in blue economy development; • To present scalable solutions and partnerships; • To mobilize voluntary commitments and financial mechanisms; • To issue a strong continental Call to Action. Key Issues to be Discussed Participants will engage in a high-impact dialogue focusing on: • Showcasing Africa's achievements in sustainable coastal and marine governance. • Presenting key thematic insights on governance, financing, innovation, inclusion, and biodiversity conservation. • Demonstrating leadership commitment through a high-level roundtable with African Ministers and champions. • Mobilizing cross-sector partnerships to support inclusive project implementation and innovation. • Creating a continental network of purpose, centered on sustainability, equity, and tangible impact. • Issuing a united Call to Action to strengthen ocean-related cooperation, investment, and capacity building. Key Recommendations and Voluntary Commitments The event will culminate in the adoption of a Call to Action, with specific recommendations to guide future efforts: 1. Defend ocean ecosystems through nature-based solutions and evidence-based planning for critical habitats like mangroves, coral reefs, and wetlands. 2. Scale up private sector investment and support MSMEs in blue economy sectors with climate adaptation tools and inclusive finance. 3. Embed inclusive governance by ensuring the participation of women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities. 4. Enhance implementation capacity through research, data-driven decision-making, and African-led innovation. 5. Mobilize innovative financing mechanisms—including blue bonds and ecosystem service payments—to unlock Africa's ocean wealth. 6. Align international frameworks such as the WTO Fisheries Subsidies Agreement and BBNJ Treaty with Africa's blue economy priorities. 7. Ensure equity in ocean action, balancing conservation with socio-economic realities to avoid displacing African development goals. 8. Encourage voluntary commitments that support the SDGs and the Blue Economy Strategy through collaborative, cross-sector initiatives. AU-IBAR's Role and Strategic Contributions AU-IBAR will play a pivotal role in highlighting the importance of sustainable aquatic food systems, regional fisheries governance, and climate-resilient livelihoods. The bureau will focus on: • Strengthening community-based approaches in coastal and inland fisheries. • Integrating biodiversity conservation with food systems. • Advancing regional platforms for capacity building and technology transfer. • Promoting blue economy practices that benefit small-scale fishers and women-led enterprises. As a technical arm of the AU, AU-IBAR will reaffirm its commitment to coordinating implementation efforts with Member States and partners, and supporting policy coherence across fisheries, environment, trade, and animal resources sectors. Session Highlights • Opening remarks will be delivered by Hon. Moses Vilakati, AU Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment. • Mrs. Nardos Bekele-Thomas, CEO of AUDA-NEPAD, will call for solidarity-driven partnerships and investments in African blue solutions. • The Ministerial Roundtable will showcase leadership from coastal and island states advancing national blue economy strategies. • Multi-stakeholder panels will feature RECs, non-state actors, and private innovators highlighting field-level successes and opportunities. • The session will conclude with a Call to Action—a bold reaffirmation of Africa's ocean leadership and demand for global support. Expected Outcomes The side event will generate momentum around key outcomes: • Stronger continental leadership and coordination on ocean governance. • New and renewed voluntary commitments supporting Africa's blue economy frameworks. • Prioritized partnership and financing opportunities for accelerated implementation. • Reinforced cooperation between African and global actors, emphasizing equity and solidarity in ocean action. Africa's Moment to Lead This side event at UNOC3 will be a big step towards Africa's goal of having a sustainable blue economy. The accepted Call to Action will convey a strong message: Africa's seas are very important to its growth, and we must take care of them in a fair, scientific, and cooperative way. AU-IBAR, along with AUC, AUDA-NEPAD, and IGAD, will keep leading the way to make sure that Africa's water resources help its people, strengthen ecosystems, and make a real difference to the health of the world's oceans.

Kenya pledges to accelerate efforts to boost intra-African trade
Kenya is working towards fast-tracking implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to unlock opportunities for businesses in the country across the continent. Speaking during the Kenya IATF2025 Business Roadshow event, Kenya's Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, Hon. Lee Kinyanjui said the government is positioning and consolidating Kenya as a Trade, industrial and innovation hub to strategically tap into trade and investment opportunities presented by AfCFTA. 'The solutions to Africa's problems lie with Africans. It is essential for countries within the continent to strengthen intra-African trade. The IATF 2025 offers a vital platform to advance the AfCFTA agenda. With a well-educated population, abundant resources, and banks ready to finance investment, Africa has what it takes to elevate itself to the next level.,' the Cabinet Secretary said. The Kenya IATF2025 Business Roadshow attracted over 200 members of Kenya's business community, including buyers, creatives, automotive sector players, policymakers and investors together with executives and officials of African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and African Union Commission (AUC). It focused on exploring ways of promoting intra-African trade. The theme was Harnessing Regional and Continental Value Chains: Accelerating Africa's Industrialisation and Global Competitiveness under the AfCFTA. Harnessing regional and continental value chains under the AfCFTA is crucial for Africa's industrial growth and global competitiveness. By creating a large, integrated market, the AfCFTA encourages countries to tap into the continental market by scaling up productive capacity and add value to products, create an enabling environment, attracting investment and creating jobs. This boosts economic diversification, expand productive base, and supports Africa's vision for sustainable and inclusive development. The roadshow is one of the five in the series of planned for Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg, Lagos and Algiers ahead of the fourth edition of the biennial Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) that will be held in Algiers, Algeria from 4 – 10 September 2025 under the theme Gateway to New Opportunities. IATF is Africa's premier trade and investment event that serves as a crucial platform for fostering economic growth, collaboration, and innovation across the continent. Over the years, the IATF has established a track record as the premier African trade and investment platform and has achieved significant milestones since it was established in 2018 as an instrument to implement the AfCFTA Agreement. Hosted by the Government of Algeria and promoted by Afreximbank, in collaboration with the African Union Commission and the AfCFTA Secretariat, the IATF2025 event will provide businesses from Africa and beyond with a platform to showcase their goods and services and exchange trade and investment information. Addressing the forum, Afreximbank's Executive Vice President, Global Trade Bank, Mr. Haytham Elmaayergi said: 'One of the key objectives of the IATF is to address access to trade and market information for intra-African trade to take place. For instance, as a result of a lack of information on African production and supply, countries like Tunisia, Morocco and South Africa import in excess of around US$400 million worth of leather products, mainly from Europe and South America, while countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan—which have the supply capacity to meet a substantial part of this demand—continue to export their leather products to markets in Europe and Asia.' 'Kenya has rapidly emerged as a major force in digitalisation and innovation, both within the region and across Africa. The IATF presents a great opportunity for Kenyan Fintech companies, mobile money innovators and other technology companies to come together and showcase their ingenuity to diverse sectors on the continent. It could potentially help them scale beyond the Kenyan borders as well as attract investment to their respective businesses.' added Mr. Elmaayergi. Mr Elmaayergi made a clarion call for businesses, public and private sector in Kenya to participate and showcase their goods and services in IATF2025, where more than 2,000 exhibitors, including businesses from the African continent and globally, will exchange trade, market and investment information and showcase their goods and services to over 35,000 visitors and buyers from more than 140 countries. This is projected to translate into over US$44 billion in trade and investment deals. IATF is a platform for boosting trade and investment in Africa. In the last three editions of IATF, over $100 billion in trade and investment deals have been closed cumulatively with over 70,000 visitors and more than 4,500 exhibitors participating. Some of the activities lined up for the week-long IATF2025 include a trade exhibition by countries and businesses; the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) programme with a dedicated exhibition and summit on fashion, music, film, arts and craft, sports, literature, gastronomy and culinary arts; a four-day Trade and Investment Forum featuring leading African and international speakers; and the Africa Automotive Show for auto manufacturers, assemblers, original equipment manufacturers and component suppliers. Special Days will also be held, dedicated for countries as well as public and private entities to showcase trade and investment opportunities, and tourism and cultural attractions, as well as Global Africa Day to highlight commercial and cultural ties between Africa and its diaspora, featuring a Diaspora Summit, market and exhibition, cultural and gastronomic showcase. Also planned is a business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) platform for matchmaking and business exchanges; the AU Youth Start-Up programme showcasing innovative ideas and prototypes; the Africa Research and Innovation Hub @ IATF targeting university students, academia and national researchers to exhibit their innovations and research projects; and the African Sub-Sovereign Governments Network (AfSNET) to promote trade, investment, educational and cultural exchanges at the local level. The IATF Virtual platform is already live, connecting exhibitors and visitors throughout the year. To participate in IATF2025 please visit Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Afreximbank. About the Intra-African Trade Fair: Organised by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) is intended to provide a unique platform for facilitating trade and investment information exchange in support of increased intra-African trade and investment, especially in the context of implementing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
