The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has successfully raised $2 billion through a three-year dual-tranche syndicated loan, marking its largest-ever transaction of this kind. The bank announced the deal's closure on Monday, March 31, 2025.
The financing comprises $1.73 billion and ā¬228 million, equivalent to the total $2 billion. The Cairo-based multilateral financial institution stated the loan attracted strong interest from a global consortium of lenders, underscoring robust investor confidence.
Proceeds from the record loan are intended to support Afreximbank's general corporate purposes and its strategic initiatives across Africa. The bank plays a key role in financing and promoting intra- and extra-African trade.
The successful syndication highlights the bank's growing prominence in facilitating trade finance and project development on the continent, amid ongoing efforts to bolster economic resilience.
