"Africa’s future can be built on three institutions, and I have been involved in all. The AfDB, obviously, is the primary institution which is a partnership between Africa and an African interest. Then you have the Cairo-based African Export and Import Bank (Afreximbank), which primarily deals with short-term trade finance. And you have the AFC as the third leg of that tripod which should provide infrastructure financing."

"We are in partnership with institutions such as the African Export and Import Bank (AFREXIMBANK) where the primary focus is trade financing."

"I think infrastructure should form the bases for adding value to commodities and then using that as a platform for exporting finished products rather than raw materials."
