Though large multinational banks tend to dominate the oil and gas sector, small- to mid-sized banks, often regional or local, are playing a growing role in financing fossil fuel projects in Africa through direct loans, specializing lending, participation in syndicated loans, or local infrastructure financing. As international financial institutions face heightened scrutiny in the sector, opportunities for smaller and indigenous banks will be on display at the Invest in African Energy 2025 Forum in Paris next May, which aims to connect African energy and infrastructure projects with diverse pools of capital.
Africa Energy Bank- Signed into implementation in June by the African Export-Import Bank and African Petroleum Producers Organization, the Africa Energy Bank (AEB) serves to catalyse funding for Africa’s oil and gas and energy industries, responding to the withdrawal of international trade and project financing by global lending institutions. The first-of-its-kind bank recognizes Africa’s reliance on its natural resources for future economic and industrial development. With an initial capitalization of $5 billion and set to be headquartered in Abuja, the AEB is open for signature by prospective member states and is set to make a sizable impact on project funding access across the continent in the coming years.
Current funding in progress, for an initial well in Cameroon but as reported in the RNA update, over the rns news wire, also in talks for a follow on 3 additional wells, could that be with AEB ?
