🎙️Interview with Alain EBOBISSE, CEO of Africa50 Group He highlights the role of BOAD, the strategic partnerships between BOAD and Africa50, and shares his thoughts on the second edition of #BOADInvestorDay.

🏗️ Critical Infrastructure | Increasing the Supply of Patient Capital 🏗️ Africa faces a $108 billion annual infrastructure gap, yet in 2023, only 3% of global infrastructure investments reached sub-Saharan Africa. Bridging this divide requires patient capital with a 10–20-year horizon. Imagine the impact if Africa captured just 1% of global institutional assets or unlocked $150–$240 billion in domestic savings from insurance and sovereign wealth funds. But how do we get there? Join us for this exclusive roundtable to discuss: 🔸 Derisking investments by optimising capital structures and governance to ensure stable, predictable returns. 🔸 Shaping regulatory frameworks to support blended finance and public-private risk sharing. 🔸 Engaging institutional investors to realise the long-term value of African infrastructure investments. 🗣 Moderator: Mohammed HAMMOUCH, Director - Project Finance - Energy and Infrastructure, Forvis Mazars Group 🎤 Speakers: Audace Niyonzima, Minister of Finance, Budget and Economic Planning, Republic of Burundi Caline D. Caline, Advisor, SAPHIR CAPITAL CHEICK-OUMAR SYLLA, Regional Director for North Africa and Horn of Africa, IFC - International Finance Corporation Papa Demba Diallo, Managing Director, Head of Project Development, Africa50 Group Ouns Lemseffer, Partner and Co-Head of Francophone Africa, Clifford Chance 📍 Access: By invitation or event app sign-up. Let’s align policies, mitigate risks, and mobilise patient capital to transform Africa’s infrastructure future. #AFIS2024 #ANewEra
