59 transactions from several sectors, including energy, sanitation, water, infrastructure, agribusiness, private equity funds and ICT development were expected to be completed during the duration of the forum. Adesina also hinted that 29 countries which had submitted projects would benefit from the investments gathered.

Giving a breakdown of expected deals, Adesina ranked South Africa with the highest deal worth $36 billion, followed by Central Africa with $14 billion; West Africa, $10.5 billion, North Africa, $2.6 billion and $1.3 billion in East Africa.

All deals are to go through Telo DB, a South African company in charge of deals at the 3-day programme.

The AfDB President promised to invest $25 billion in the agriculture sector in Africa. According to him, the sector has long been neglected by Africans. He promised to use the forum to open new frontiers for development.

“We will work with our partners to syndicate more and leverage capital. Together, through the Africa Investment Forum, we will speed up the development of bankable projects, secure financing, and accelerate financial close for projects.”
