ECI Highlights Its Role As Catalyst In Enhancing Trade And

Investment Opportunities Between The UAE And Africa

By Editor_wr Last updated Oct 1, 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.
