Page 17 - ETIHAD CREDIT INSURANCE PR REPORT - OCTOBER 2025

Press Release

carried out in close partnership with Export Credit Agencies (ECAs), Development Finance
Institutions (DFIs), and private markets to co-create innovative solutions.

Furthermore, prominent initiatives led by the UAE to advance sustainable development in the
African continent were discussed, with a spotlight on the “African Green Investment Initiative”

(AGII). Announced at the Africa Climate Summit, held in Nairobi in September 2023, AGII is a
multistakeholder partnership that adopts an innovative approach to climate finance, combining

the resources, expertise, and local knowledge of its partners.

Towards the closing of the session, emphasis was placed on ECI’s role in supporting the UAE’s

global clean energy agenda. During COP28, the UAE pledged USD 4.5 billion to accelerate clean
energy projects across Africa. In line with this, ECI is providing USD 500 million of credit

insurance to de-risk and unlock private capital - further demonstrating ECI’s commitment
towards global sustainable development.

It is noteworthy that the forum brought together global companies, private and public investment
bodies, thought leaders and policy makers, in a series of discussions on strengthening trade and

investment relations between the UAE and the African continent.

The UAE's hosting of this second edition comes within the framework of its growing economic
and trade relations with African countries, particularly as it is the largest investor in Africa among

the GCC countries. Dubai hosted the 2024 edition of the forum, following ten successful editions
held in London.
