Sidi Ould Tah, a Mauritanian, became the ninth President of the African Development Bank Group. He took office on 1 September 2025, for an initial five-year term, with the objective of repositioning the Bank to act with greater agility, accountability and proximity to its clients, in the service of Africa\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">He has begun this repositioning around his strategic vision, the \u201cFour Cardinal Points\u201d: Unlock Africa\u2019s Capital Power; Rebuild Africa\u2019s Financial Sovereignty; Turn Demographics into a Dividend; Build Resilient Infrastructure and Competitive Value Chains. At its heart is the New African Financial Architecture for Development (NAFAD) \u2014 resting on subsidiarity, complementarity, coordination and risk transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">NAFAD aims at mobilising the continent\u2019s own resources, alongside those of the Bank Group\u2019s partners, to help close Africa\u2019s estimated $400 billion annual development financing gap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Since taking office, this vision has translated into action: the seventeenth replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF-17), the Bank Group\u2019s concessional window, concluded in December 2025 with a record $11 billion mobilised. The African Union Summit endorsed NAFAD in February 2026; and in Brazzaville in May 2026, the Board of Governors Four Cardinal Points made the Four Cardinal Points the institution\u2019s strategic direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">An economist and development finance leader with extensive public-sector and multilateral experience, Dr Sidi Ould Tah served as President of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) from 2015 to 2025, during which the institution moved from unrated to AAA\/Aa1\/AA+ credit ratings. He also served as Mauritania\u2019s Minister of Economy and Finance from 2008 to 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Dr Sidi Ould Tah holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France. He is fluent in Arabic, French and English, and has a working knowledge of Portuguese and Spanish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"loop-item\" data-elementor-id=\"5966\" class=\"elementor elementor-5966 e-loop-item e-loop-item-470265 post-470265 sb_speaker type-sb_speaker status-publish hentry evenement-salon-250\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\" data-custom-edit-handle=\"1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17a06b64 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"17a06b64\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a44efb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"a44efb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"square-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content-cdn.sessionboard.com\/attendee-photo%2FzjJAKRDSQWOTn215B8PU_headshot-1790586997394.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full h-auto\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52d5f3a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"52d5f3a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Doff_canvas%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjUzOWY3YWQtNDcwMjY1LTM2MjJhNWJlIiwiZGlzcGxheU1vZGUiOiJvcGVuIn0%3D\">H.E.

Kayandabila serves as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Tanzania (BoT), responsible for economic and financial policies. A seasoned economist and public-sector leader, he plays a central role in shaping Tanzania&rsquo;s macroeconomic strategy, monetary policy implementation, and financial-sector reforms.<\/p>\n<p>In his current capacity, Dr. Kayandabila oversees the coordination of monetary and fiscal policy frameworks to sustain growth, maintain price stability, and promote financial inclusion. Speaking on behalf of the Bank&rsquo;s Monetary Policy Committee in 2025, he highlighted the country&rsquo;s solid economic performance &#8211; marked by 5.5 percent growth in 2024 &#8211; driven by agriculture, finance, mining, and construction.<\/p>\n<p>A strong advocate for innovation in financial services, Dr. Kayandabila has called for new financing models to empower small- and medium-scale miners, whose limited access to capital constrains productivity and sectoral growth. Under his leadership, the Bank has intensified collaboration with institutions such as Afreximbank to expand project financing, credit guarantees, and tailored capital solutions for Tanzania&rsquo;s real economy.<\/p>\n<p>Before his appointment as Deputy Governor, Dr. Kayandabila built extensive experience across the Tanzanian financial system and academia, contributing to the development of economic policy and regulatory capacity.

Since 2019, he has led the Group&#8217;s transformation and growth across a seven-country platform serving 1.6 million customers, of whom more than 600,000 are active micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses. Roughly half of Baobab&#8217;s customers are women, and around 70 per cent were unbanked before joining the Group.<\/p>\n<p>Baobab delivers credit, savings, payments and insurance through a hybrid model combining digital channels, agent networks and branches. The Group disburses more than USD 1.2 billion in new loans annually, manages over USD 1.3 billion in assets, mobilises substantial local-currency deposits, and employs more than 4,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining Baobab, Philip was Group Head of SME Banking at Equity Bank in Kenya and held senior leadership roles with the ProCredit Group, including as CEO of its subsidiaries in Kosovo, Georgia and Congo DRC.<\/p>\n<p>Following Baobab&#8217;s acquisition by Beltone Holding, part of the International Holding Company (IHC) ecosystem, Philip is leading the Group&#8217;s next phase: digital acceleration, deposit-led growth, and the transformation of Baobab into a broader African financial services platform serving underserved entrepreneurs at

Chief Executive Officer of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), Africa\u2019s leading infrastructure solutions provider. Over more than three decades, he has championed African value capture, job creation and industrialisation, mobilising billions of dollars into transformative infrastructure and productive assets across the continent.<\/p><p>Since assuming leadership of AFC in 2018, he has overseen one of the most significant periods of growth in the Corporation\u2019s history. Membership has expanded from 19 to 48 countries, while total assets grew\u00a0 over 5x from US$4.1 billion to US$20 billion as at Q3 2026. Total Comprehensive Income increased more than fourfold, from US$118 million in 2018 to over US$513 million in 2025. During this period, AFC has delivered landmark transactions across energy, transport, natural resources, telecommunications and heavy industry, including Africa\u2019s largest renewable energy acquisition and the largest equity exit from an industrial platform through a private capital raise involving a Gulf conglomerate and African multilateral financial institutions.<\/p><p>Under Mr. Zubairu\u2019s leadership, AFC has strengthened its position as one of Africa\u2019s highest-rated multilateral financial institutions. The Corporation has maintained Moody\u2019s A3 investment-grade rating while securing an \u2018A\u2019 long-term credit rating from S&amp;P Global with a Positive Outlook, an A+ rating from Japan Credit Rating Agency and a AAA rating from China Chengxin International Credit Rating Co. and S&amp;P Global China, giving AFC investment-grade recognition across five major rating agencies.<\/p><p>AFC\u2019s achievements under his stewardship have earned widespread international recognition.

A graduate of ESSEC Paris (Class of 1980), he led the Cameroonian operations of a major French insurance group for 17 years before turning to entrepreneurship. In 1998, convinced that Africa deserved world-class insurance institutions built on its own soil, he founded ACTIVA Group in Douala, Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a single operation is today one of the most significant insurance groups in Sub-Saharan Africa, operating through 10 insurance companies across seven countries, alongside a reinsurance company, a technology subsidiary, a financial holding, and a European office in Paris. IFC (World Bank Group) and PROPARCO (Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement) count among its strategic shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>His ambition has always reached beyond his own Group. In 2007, he founded GLOBUS, the first pan-African insurance intermediation network, present in 49 countries. He also served as President of FANAF from 1996 to 2002. His work has earned him CEO of the Year (OAA, 2018) and Insurer of the Year (Financial Afrik, 2021).<\/p>\n<p>Richard LOWE&#8217;s legacy is architectural: nearly three decades spent building the institutions, networks, and partnerships that underpin African insurance today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
