AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Energy Finance: Africa’s new $5 billion Energy Bank, established by Afreximbank and the African Petroleum Producers’ Organisation, aims to finance oil and gas projects as Western lenders retreat. Banking: Nedbank took control of Kenya’s NCBA after transferring shares to secure a 66% stake, giving it influence over the lender’s strategy and expansion. Digital Finance: Kenyan cryptocurrency transactions hit a record Sh740 billion ($5.7 billion) in the year to June, driven by remittances, trade and investment. Investment: Sterling Bank and Proparco signed a $30 million deal to support renewable energy and agriculture in Nigeria. Trade and Payments: Senegal’s government and Visa agreed to work on digital payments and public services, while an ITC-Afreximbank report sees Africa-Caribbean trade reaching $1.65 billion annually by 2030.
