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.
