Africa

By PR News Desk 01/10/2025

H.E. 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.

H.E. Raja 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 organized by the Ministry of
Foreign Trade, in collaboration with Invest Africa; a platform focused on promoting trade and investment

across the African continent. H.E. Raja 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.
