Cross border trades play a critical role to achieve sustainable growth. It's critical to have strong partnerships between the multi-lateral banks, developmental financial institutions, commercial banks, and non-banking financial institutions. Very reassuring to read TDB Group President's remark. Africa's Trade Finance Gap, after shrinking for about 7 years to 2017, has begun expanding since then and the last formal estimate was at 90Billion USD 3 years ago. It's likely to have grown to about 120Billion in my personal estimate. There is a need for strong and formal partnerships between the MDB's. DFI's, CB's, and NBFI's. Technology should be effectively leveraged to make the partnerships and risk participation, smooth and transparent. "What we have observed is that our own community of African regional MDBs, DFIs, commercial banks and other financial institutions have significantly ramped up their collaboration in the recent years. Pulling our efforts together and synergizing at these unprecedented levels is enabling us to respond better by scaling-up impact – working effectively hand in hand with global and bilateral partners from the rest of the world. Strong partnerships are one of the most important success factors in our leveraged performance and impact.” says Admassu Tadesse, Trade and Development Bank Group - TDB Group Group President and Managing Director.
The week of the African Development Bank Group Annual Meetings 2024 came to an end in Nairobi, #Kenya, following many bilateral meetings, industry meetings, and panel discussions on pertinent topics in #development and #finance, notably reforms of the #globalfinancialarchitecture. It is heartwarming for us at #TDBGroup to reflect on the excellent strategic #partnerships we have built over the years, starting with the #AfDB, which paved the way for our valuable strategic partnerships with other MDBs such as #BADEA and the European Investment Bank (EIB), and now in a big way, the The World Bank Group. We had excellent meetings with the AfDB and World Bank on scaling up our cooperation and exploring further innovations in our strategic partnership. “What we have observed is that our own community of African regional MDBs, DFIs, commercial banks and other financial institutions have significantly ramped up their collaboration in the recent years. Pulling our efforts together and synergizing at these unprecedented levels is enabling us to respond better by scaling-up impact – working effectively hand in hand with global and bilateral partners from the rest of the world. Strong partnerships are one of the most important success factors in our leveraged performance and impact.” says Admassu Tadesse, TDB Group President and Managing Director. Among the eminent guests received at its Nairobi Operations Hub, TDB Tower, we were delighted to receive and welcome BADEA - Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa led by Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, BADEA President, with which we have been working closely for several years on several fronts. In addition to being an investor in our Class B shares and an anchor shareholder in our trade finance fund, BADEA and TDB Group are also working closely in the areas of co-financing and risk-sharing, among others, synergizing together in our region. We were also delighted to receive Alain Ebobissé, CEO of Africa50 Infrastructure Investment Platform, with which we have been collaborating regularly since their establishment a decade or so back, and have exciting joint #investments on the horizon. #AfDBAM2024 #DevelopmentBanking #InternationalCooperation #StrategicPartnerships #FinancialInnovation #GlobalPartnerships #MultilateralDevelopmentBanks #AfricaInvestment #RegionalDevelopment
