Ecobank Group commits KES 387.6 billion in trade finance
This KES 387.6 billion commitment signals strong confidence in Africa’s capacity to industrialize, scale production, and participate as a highly competitive partner in global trade, strongly aligning with the acceleration of intra-Africa trade.
Ecobank Group will partner with Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), including Proparco, to deploy KES 387.6 billion ($3 billion) trade finance commitment.
This will expand access to competitive funds to fuel the core engines of Africa’s real economy, agribusiness, manufacturing, and general commerce. This strategic deployment is designed to accelerate the structural transformation of the continent, anchoring future growth in sustainable industrialization, resilient infrastructure, and human capital.
By strengthening liquidity, providing guarantees, and deploying specialised trade instruments, Ecobank will help African businesses secure essential inputs, access new markets, and build resilience within increasingly complex global supply chains.
“The Africa-France Impact Coalition marks a fundamental shift toward shared sovereignty and integrated supply chains, and we are proud to drive this vision”, said Jeremy Awori, CEO, Ecobank Group. “Africa is rising and trading. By leveraging our Paris banking hub and partnerships with DFIs like Proparco, we are connecting African opportunities with global capital.
This initiative is more than a financial commitment, it is a catalyst for trade, investment and talent – the pillars of Africa’s next decade.”
