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.

has served as Governor of the National Bank of Angola (BNA) since June 19, 2023, following his appointment by the President of the Republic and confirmation by the National Assembly. With nearly three decades of experience at the central bank, he is recognized for his expertise in monetary policy, economic governance, and institutional management.<\/p>\n<p>As Governor, Dr. Tiago Dias has prioritized stabilizing the foreign exchange market, reducing inflation to single digits, and strengthening the credibility and independence of the BNA. Under his leadership, the central bank continues to implement reforms aimed at improving monetary transmission, promoting credit to the productive sector, and consolidating Angola&rsquo;s financial stability amid a challenging global economic context.<\/p>\n<p>He previously served as Vice-Governor of the BNA from 2016 to 2023, where he contributed to key monetary and exchange rate policy decisions and oversaw the implementation of macroeconomic stabilization measures. Earlier in his career, he was successively Head of Division, Deputy Director, and Director of the Department of Studies and Statistics, roles through which he developed a deep understanding of Angola&rsquo;s financial system and economic structure.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Tiago Dias joined the National Bank of Angola in 1997 after completing his Master&rsquo;s degree in Economic Sciences at the University of Bordeaux I in France. His research focused on the stratification of the urban labor market in Luanda (1993-1996).

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

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
