Middle East & Africa

Kome Ajebo, VP of investments at Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), highlights the institution's ‘phenomenal’ year after hitting the $10 billion mark in total assets invested and generating its highest net income to date - a significant feat for an African MDB. She states, “We are an African institution with African money trying to solve African problems, and I do not think there is anyone better suited to help address the challenges we face on the continent today”.
