Afreximbank Annual General Meetings

A team from Corporate Council on Africa participated in the 30th Afreximbank Annual General Meeting in Accra, Ghana in June. Florie Liser participated in two plenaries, one on Leveraging the Power of Inter-African Trade and Commodity-Based Industrialization, and the other providing a high-level review of progress under the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. On both panels, Florie stressed the ongoing interest of American companies in learning more about the specific provisions of AfCFTA to take advantage of what should be a game-changing development in Africa. CCA and Afreximbank also held a special side session on Leveraging Afreximbank programs to expand U.S.-Trade and Investment with Africa, featuring three senior Afreximbank officials providing authoritative descriptions of important bank programs to a capacity crowd.
