DUBAI, 1st October, 2025 (WAM) – Raja Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI), underscored the rising
momentum of Emirati investors seeking opportunities across African markets, highlighting how ECI is actively enabling this growth through
export credit insurance, investment guarantees, and project finance support.
Al Mazrouei spoke during a panel session titled “Capital with Purpose – Financing Africa’s next chapter”, held as part of The Africa Debate
2025 in Dubai. The event was organised by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, in collaboration with Invest Africa; a platform focused on promoting
trade and investment across the African continent. She underlined that the UAE and Africa are shaping a new era of globalisation driven by
sustainable, diversified, and impact-oriented investment.
The session also explored the ‘Capital with Purpose’ initiative as a strategic evolution in UAE-Africa relations with traditional trade and capital
flows giving way to a diversified, resilient, and impact-driven investment model. This approach not only unlocks resilient growth but also
enhances global competitiveness and creates a virtuous cycle of investment, job creation, and technology transfer.
