Musumba said the ceremony, which was attended by no fewer than 300 of the continent’s leading figures in banking and finance, saw Afreximbank winning the awards for the second consecutive time.

He said the 18th edition of the African Banker Awards celebrated the achievements of individuals and institutions that have contributed significantly to the growth and development of Africa’s banking sector over the past year.

Musumba said the award organisers highlighted Afreximbank’s exceptional performance across various metrics.

“Key among them, “considerably changing the banking landscape by reaching out to new customers, offering new services, and adopting inclusiveness by bringing the unbanked into the banking space.

“Also making use of new technologies, and helping to drive growth through a stronger financial sector.”

He said the Bank of the Year award reflected Afreximbank’s outstanding financial performance, as the Group’s results for the financial year ending Dec. 31, 2023 showed remarkable strength and resilience, surpassing the previous year’s performance.

Musumba said in the Deal of the Year – Infrastructure category, Afreximbank was honored for its 155 million dollars investment in Great Horn Investments Holding (GHIH).

“This funding supports a series of development projects in Djibouti’s Damerjog Industrial Development Free Trade Zone.”

He said the deal was announced in 2023 following a meeting between Afreximbank President Prof. Benedict Oramah and President of Djibouti Omar Guelleh, during the 2023 Summit of Heads of State of the African Union held in Nairobi.

Musumba said the Deal of the Year – Infrastructure award was particularly significant for Afreximbank as it marks the Bank’s first collaboration with GHIH and the government of Djibouti.

He said the partnership aimed to help Djibouti achieve its goal of becoming a regional trans-shipment and logistics hub.

“This project will greatly promote intra-African trade, given Djibouti’s strategic location in the horn of Africa and support neighbouring economies such as Ethiopia and Somalia through access to freight services.

“The facility is critical to Djibouti’s economic development as the funds will be used for the completion of the Damerjog Oil Jetty, expected to provide marine connectivity to the free trade zone.

“Also for the construction of a 150,000m³ first storage depot/oil tank farm, as well as for other costs related to the projects.

“This will greatly help develop Djibouti’s infrastructure and its vision of becoming a ‘regional transport hub’ by 2035.”

Masumba quoted Oramah who spoke at the award ceremony, as saying,

“We are extremely delighted to win both the Bank of the Year and The Deal of the Year for Infrastructure as these awards underscore our expertise in development financing.

“I accept these awards on behalf of the hardworking staff of Afreximbank, our customers and partners, and also the Alliance for African Multilateral Financial Institutions who work tirelessly to make the change that Africa needs.
