AFIS explores if cross-border coordination to market Pan-African projects rather than national infrastructure projects, could help states attract capital from a group that has not yet fully bought into African investing.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><em>By Oliver Nieburg, programme lead for the Africa Financial Summit &#8211; AFIS<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>Diaspora bonds have in the last decade and a half captured the imagination as an innovative source of financing to exploit the $50 billion+ in annual savings held by African citizens living overseas. Few have been issued, but their African track record has partly fallen short of expectations.<\/p>\n\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s 2017, $300m diaspora bond was a notable exception that met and surpassed targets, which has led the West African state to consider issuing a $500m diaspora bond this year targeting Nigerians and Nigerian descendants living in the US.<\/p>\n\n<p>But since 2007, limited market awareness and international scepticism about African assets have caused diaspora bonds from countries like Ethiopia, Ghana, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessdailyafrica.com\/bd\/markets\/capital-markets\/diaspora-bond-falls-short-of-target-amid-investor-uncertainty-1993196\">Kenya<\/a> to be undersubscribed.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><em>Patriotic affinity or kinship with Africa will never be enough to attract investors<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Some nations have turned to general infrastructure bonds in which the diaspora can participate instead of dedicated diaspora bonds, an approach helping to net previously elusive diaspora investment. Ethiopia\u2019s $7bn Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) for instance was partly financed by an infrastructure bond that drew more than $50 million from the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to discussions that took place at AFIS \u2013 a platform built around the Africa Financial Summit -results could be amplified by widening the definition of the diaspora and selling lucrative Pan-African infrastructure investment opportunities, whereby risk is not concentrated in a single nation.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marketing the Pan-African investment opportunity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Distrust in the issuing government, and perceived risks of investing in a single African nation have contributed to the limited success of diaspora bonds. Investors are weary that a poor economic outlook for an issuing African country will result in a poor return on investment.<\/p>\n\n<p>Patriotic affinity or kinship with Africa will never be enough to attract investors. The business case for infrastructure bonds must be compelling.<\/p>\n\n<p>With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) forecast to uplift <a>African GDP 4.2% by 2035, <\/a>according to Fitch, cross-border infrastructure projects packaged as capitalising on a lucrative pan-African opportunity may be a route to inspire investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n<p>Multi-country involvement on cross-border transport, logistics, energy and digital infrastructure projects could give diaspora investors assurance that they are buying into quality assets, particularly if backed by multi-state guarantees.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><em>Africans states may also re-examine which individuals are considered diaspora investors<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Such Pan-African bonds or cross-border bonds will undoubtedly be complicated to arrange and would require cooperation between diverse states \u2013 Africa after all is not a country.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yet a smart collective approach could bring relief to a <a href=\"https:\/\/businessday.ng\/maritime\/article\/afcfta-needs-411bn-for-transport-infrastructure-to-boost-trade-says-un\/\">$411bn<\/a> deficit in transport infrastructure and equipment investment needed by around 2030 to enable intra-continental trade flows.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Africa\u2019s hidden investors: The Diaspora we forgot to ask<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Africans states may also re-examine which individuals are considered \u201cdiaspora\u201d investors. Sovereign diaspora bonds have to date mainly targeted national citizens or their descendants living abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p>Broadening the diaspora scope to all those with an affinity to Africa or an African nation could enlarge the investor base.<\/p>\n\n<p>It does not necessarily have to be a Rwandan investing in Rwandan assets. African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, a European-born investor with Ivorian ancestry, international scholars with African interests or foreign workers previously based in Africa that have no ancestral link could be targeted alongside Rwandan citizens abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p>But data on these communities and even on the traditional diaspora (overseas citizens) is lacking. Angola in 2018 for instance started discussions on issuing a diaspora bond but had no concrete information on its diaspora to advance.<\/p>\n\n<p>Setting up public taskforces to develop national datasets, updated every two years, on the broader diaspora community that have African interests could be a first step to strenghtening data. This could then feed a Pan-African diaspora database, and the community could be engaged on sovereign infrastructure bond participation and targeted for bolder pan-African investment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A tailored message to sub-groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>The taskforces behind national diaspora databases will need to identify engagement strategies for sub-groups within the community as the diaspora is far from a homogenous group. An African American lawyer may need to be engaged differently to a diaspora target with limited financial means and education.<\/p>\n\n<p>If national datasets were combined, stakeholders could develop a Pan-African diaspora community on digital outreach channels, engage them regularly on issues of interest to the diaspora, and inform them of infrastructure bond opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<p>This data could be shared with non-profit African diaspora organisations, so the investment opportunities are raised via their channels and events.<\/p>\n\n<p>To date, few countries have succeeded with national diaspora bonds aside from India, Israel and Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n<p>Could Pan-African investment opportunities &#8211; strategically marketed to a larger diaspora group by national taskforces armed with solid data &#8211; make the diaspora active investors in the continent\u2019s economic future?<br \/><br \/><strong><em>This article draws on insights from past Africa Financial Summit sessions that featured the capital market authorities of Ethiopia and Angola, Ecobank, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Kenya hopes to raise up to $500m from diaspora bonds by 2026, should past performance of national diaspora bonds on the continent cause concern?
