Addressing Africa’s development needs requires innovative approaches to structured finance. With an annual infrastructure deficit of $108 billion, tools such as securitization, ESG bonds, and blended finance are key to mobilizing local and international capital. For instance, capturing 1% of global institutional assets could inject $2 trillion into the continent. In Senegal, Invictus Capital & Finance has structured significant initiatives, including a $120 million SONATEL securitization bond, a $300 million “Trade Loan” program for food security, and an $80 million bond for a strategic project at the Port of Dakar.
This panel will explore the potential of these models to mitigate risks and support sustainable growth in Africa.
