AFC launches $2bn facility to support economic recovery and resilience in Africa

In the wake of global crises including the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) has announced the launch of a US$2 billion facility to support bank-driven economic recovery in Africa, and the resilience of African economies.

The AFC has committed to funding up to 50% of the facility and mobilizing the rest through its network of international partners and investors.

This was announced at the AFC Live infrastructure Solutions Summit.

The facility, dubbed “African Economic Resilience”, will be disbursed via loans from AFC to select commercial banks, regional development banks and central banks in various African countries, providing them with much needed hard currency liquidity to finance trade and other economic activities in their various jurisdictions.

These institutions will be able to leverage AFC’s proven access to global funding to access financing at competitive rates.

Speaking on the rationale behind the launch, Head of Treasury and Financial Institutions, Banji Fehintola said, “The COVID-19 pandemic set back Africa’s economic growth trajectory and further widened the trade financing gap. Before the continent could get over that, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has brought with it a new set of challenges, but which have the same effect of negatively impacting growth prospects across the continent.

“As such, we are determined to play a leading role in shaping the continent’s recovery and resilience, not only though the work we do in bridging Africa’s infrastructure gap, but also through targeted interventions such as this US$2 billion COVID-19 economic resilience facility.”

Applications for the African Economic Resilience facility will open in (Date/Month/Year) through AFC’s website.

Through this funding intervention, AFC will accelerate its developmental impact in Africa, driving the continent to a new phase of growth that is focused on maximum resource value capture and domestic job creation.

Over the last 15 years, AFC has built experience mobilizing global capital for critical infrastructure projects in Africa with several bond issuances in the last two years, including a 10-year US$500 million Eurobond in 2019, a five-year US$700 million Eurobond in 2020 and a seven-year US$750million Eurobond at its lowest yield in 2021 .

Recently, an independent asset management arm, AFC Capital Partners was established with plans to raise US$2 billion to fund climate adaptation infrastructure projects in Africa.

It is this same fund mobilization experience that AFC will leverage to support COVID-19 economic recovery in Africa through the Rebuilding Economic Resilience facility.
