NURTURING GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY
FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

Food Security and Access to Medicine

Through nearly US$1 billion in innovative sovereign trade financing, we have delivered over 976,000 tons of basic foods and non-edible goods, as well as over 948 million units of essential medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to approved local importers in Angola.

In order to ensure the quality and proper handling of pharmaceutical goods delivered to Angola, we have established a pharmaceutical warehousing complex close to Luanda, helping to close a critical infrastructure gap in the healthcare supply chain.

Green Shoots for Growth

Through a US$122 million government-backed financing package that we helped to deliver, a flagship 5,000-hectare farming project was launched in Quizenga, Angola. The project is now fully operational, creating 1,200 new jobs for the local community.

Enabling Connections to Opportunity

From core telecoms and rural broadband to financial access for the unbanked, we have provided over US$275 million in flexible financing to trailblazing companies within the telecoms and ICT ecosystem. By extending digital connectivity across the emerging markets, these investments allow communities access to education and new economic choices.

Empowering Science and Entrepreneurship

Fuelling New Horizons

West Africa exports 4.5 million barrels of crude oil per day, but due to a lack of refining infrastructure, it's still reliant on imports for the lion’s share of its fuel consumption needs. Eliminating this inefficiency from Africa’s energy supply chain is vital for the continent’s energy security and will underpin sustainable growth, industrialisation and diversification. We are developing and funding flagship refinery projects in Angola and Liberia, applying modern, cost-effective modular technology.
