A Project Finance Guarantee is offered mainly to support trade-enabling infrastructure in Africa such as ports, airports, toll roads, power, and telecom, among others. It can also be structured on a case-by-case basis to cover specific project risks such as demand or traffic risk, offtake risk, among others.

Projects of this type often involve high risks due to the uncertainties inherent in the environment, extended time frame of completion, scale of the project or its technologies, among others. In some cases, the risk is so high that banks and other investors are unwilling to invest in the project without a guarantee or some sort of credit enhancement. Afreximbank’s guarantee provides a solution to this problem.
