ATIDI\u2019s ability to mobilize private capital into high-impact sectors, even in fragile and frontier markets, demonstrated its role as a true catalyst for investment. Its strategic partnerships, innovative deal structuring and unwavering commitment to operational excellence, reinforced its leadership in the development finance industry and in creating enabling environments for both public and private sector development across Africa. In 2024 alone, ATIDI supported over USD8 billion in transactions, helping to catalyze financing in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, transport and finance.<\/p>\n<p>ATIDI was also shortlisted for the Deal of the Year (debt category), for its involvement in a landmark transaction in Benin, showcasing its growing presence and innovative impact in structured finance and syndications. The nomination underscores ATIDI\u2019s rising recognition as a trusted deal enabler and risk-sharing partner across the continent. ATIDI provided a second-loss insurance coverage of up to \u20ac614 million for a senior unsecured amortizing term loan of \u20ac507.5 million arranged solely by Deutsche Bank. The 15-year term loan benefitted from a EUR 200 million Partial Risk Guarantee provided by the International Development Association (IDA). The facility enabled the Republic of Benin to buy back part of the country\u2019s Eurobonds through a critical debt reprofiling exercise and redirected savings toward the sustainable development goals under its SDG Framework.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Statement by Manuel Moses, CEO of ATIDI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing recognized as DFI of the Year is both a tremendous honor and a reflection of the deep partnerships that we have built across the continent. We remain committed to building investor confidence, enabling transformative deals and supporting Africa\u2019s sustainable growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 African Banker Awards highlighted the rising influence of DFIs, with institutions such as Afreximbank, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), Trade and Development Bank (TDB) and Uganda Development Bank (UDB) also securing top honors.<\/p>\n<p>ATIDI is at the forefront of Africa\u2019s accelerating path toward economic transformation by de-risking investments, unlocking capital and fostering partnerships that deliver real, lasting impact. This award validates the organization\u2019s long-standing track record but also its future potential as Africa\u2019s premier development insurance partner. With every policy underwritten and every deal enabled, ATIDI continues to power Africa\u2019s growth story securely, sustainably and strategically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATIDI was named DFI of the Yea [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[970],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-970"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12108"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12506,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12108\/revisions\/12506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atidi.africa\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
