Page 72 - ETIHAD CREDIT INSURANCE PR REPORT - OCTOBER 2025

10/3/25, 8:39 AM Etihad Credit Insurance Drives Emirati Investment Momentum Across Africa
focused on a new wave of UAE-Africa relations built on sustainable, impact-driven investment,

particularly in renewable energy, infrastructure, and digital transformation.

As the UAE’s federal export credit agency, ECI plays a central role in supporting sovereign-led

infrastructure projects and integrating small and medium-sized enterprises into African supply

chains. Operating in 30 countries, it has already backed projects in healthcare, emergency
services, technology, and green energy, working closely with global finance institutions and

private markets.

The session also spotlighted the African Green Investment Initiative, a UAE-led platform

launched in 2023 to advance climate finance. Al Mazrouei reaffirmed ECI’s alignment with the
UAE’s clean energy commitments, citing its USD 500 million in credit insurance to support the

country’s USD 4.5 billion pledge for African renewable energy projects announced during

COP28.

With the UAE now the largest GCC investor in Africa, Dubai’s hosting of the forum reflects its

growing role as a hub for strengthening economic ties and fostering sustainable development

across the continent.
