Prof. Benedict Oramah and a high-level Afreximbank delegation met with H.E. William Ruto of Kenya during his state visit to Cairo, Egypt, to strengthen financial cooperation and advance Africa’s economic integration. The discussions highlighted the critical role of African financial institutions in driving sustainable investments, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
President Ruto reaffirmed the need for greater collaboration among African nations to amplify the continent’s voice in global finance. He emphasized his commitment to AfCFTA by empowering sub-sovereign governments to boost regional trade and resilience—aligning with Afreximbank’s mission to expand intra-African trade, industrialization, and financial innovation.
The meeting also touched on collaboration in addressing continental challenges, reflecting a broader push for institutional strengthening.
As Africa moves toward financial independence and deeper regional ties, partnerships between governments and institutions like Afreximbank remain key to unlocking the continent’s full economic potential.
