Luanda, Angola – 21 June 2025 – The African Trade & Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI), is reinforcing its position as a cornerstone of economic resilience and sustainable development. This commitment was emphasized during its 25^th Annual General Meeting, held from June 18–21, 2025, in Luanda, Angola under the theme: “Turning Risk into Opportunity, Securing a Sustainable Future.”

More than a ceremonial milestone, the AGM served as a strategic platform to explore how risk mitigation can drive long-term transformation across African economies. Discussions centered on unlocking private capital, fostering intra-African trade and strengthening regional integration. With participation from over 24 member states, international finance institutions, and private investors, ATIDI reaffirmed its critical role in supporting Africa’s vision for a self-reliant, investment-ready future.

Against the backdrop of a stabilizing global economy in 2024 and characterized by easing inflation, improved trade flows and supportive monetary policies, ATIDI delivered a year of resilient performance. The organization transitioned to the IFRS 17 accounting standard, bringing new methodologies and financial reporting clarity. Key financial highlights for 2024 include:

• USD158.9 million in insurance revenue (up 2%)
• USD59.5 million in profit, representing a 14% decline
• USD29.8 million in investment income (up 45%)
• USD791.6 million in total equity (up 13%)
• USD8.9 billion in total exposure (down 7%)

The year also saw the addition of Burkina Faso and Chad as ATIDI’s 23^rd and 24^th Member States, further affirming the organization’s growing footprint as a pan-African enabler of trade and investment.

Manuel Moses, Chief Executive Officer of ATIDI, stated: “Over the past 25 years, ATIDI has evolved from a bold vision into a key organization driving sustainable economic development across Africa. In 2024, we strengthened our operational foundations while adapting to global shifts. We remain committed to unlocking opportunities through risk mitigation, innovation and deepening partnerships across the continent.”

The AGM in Luanda showcased the organization’s sustained growth, including:

• Continued brand visibility following the successful ATIDI rebrand launched in July 2023
• Expansion of ATIDI’s partnership including continuous partnerships and agreements with the AU, the AfDB, COMESA, the EIB, KfW and Norad, as well as AAMFI, the Alliance of African Multilateral Financial Institutions, and the African Solidarity Fund.
• A landmark EUR 100 million portfolio policy with the West African Development Bank (BOAD) to support critical infrastructure and private sector investments in West Africa
• The launch of the Portfolio Risk Sharing Agreement (PoRSA) to boost SME financing, supported by the German Government via KfW
• Strengthened governance with a new board appointed for a term of 3 years

As ATIDI moves forward under its 2023–2027 Strategic Plan, the organization will:

• Roll out an enhanced risk modeling framework to optimize pricing and claims reserving
• Deepen ESG integration across product lines and underwriting
• Continue expanding member participation and shareholder capital
• Raising alternative sources of capital to enhance underwriting capacity and financial strength
• Strengthen regional trade facilitation through support for COMESA’s Regional Customs Transit Guarantee Scheme (RCTG)

ATIDI also emphasised the critical importance of maintaining its Preferred Creditor Status (PCS), a designation that significantly enhances its ability to operate effectively across African markets. PCS ensures that ATIDI is prioritised in the repayment of obligations, even in cases of sovereign debt distress, thereby safeguarding its capital base and reinforcing investor confidence. By maintaining PCS, ATIDI can continue to offer risk mitigation solutions at competitive terms, while maintaining the financial resilience needed to support high-impact development projects across the continent.

The AGM concluded with key resolutions, including the approval of new member accessions, the validation of the organisation’s financial performance, and forward-looking discussions at the Investor Roundtable and closed-door Boardroom Session. Angola’s hosting of this milestone AGM highlights the country’s growing influence in promoting regional integration and investment dialogue across the continent.
