Nairobi – On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the African Trade & Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI) released its 2025 Annual Report on July 2, 2026, a special edition that traces a quarter of a century of intervention in financing development, facilitating investments, and managing risks in Africa.
Under the theme “Empowering Africa: Risk Managed, Growth Unlocked,” this publication highlights the evolution of ATIDI, from a regional agency providing political risk insurance to one of the leading African institutions mobilizing investments and mitigating risks.
In twenty-five years of operation, ATIDI states that it has supported $93 billion in trade and investments on the continent through its guarantees and insurance solutions against political risks, credit, and non-payment. The institution emphasizes that it has helped improve access to financing for states and the private sector while enhancing investor confidence in sometimes perceived complex environments.
The publication comes after the institution’s 26th Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in Nairobi from June 30 to July 3, 2026. This meeting brought together public decision-makers, investors, insurers, development banks, and technical partners to address new challenges related to risk management, capital mobilization, and sustainable financing for African growth.
In addition to the institutional review, this anniversary edition also provides an analysis of the continent’s economic evolution over the past twenty-five years. It highlights progress in regional integration, infrastructure financing, private sector development, and improvement of African risk-sharing mechanisms.
The publication coincides with ATIDI’s new growth ambitions. During the opening of its silver jubilee celebrations, Director General Manuel Moses noted that the institution now has a total exposure of $9.2 billion, up 20% in 2025, with $883 million in equity. To meet the continent’s growing financing needs, the agency now aims for a substantial strengthening of its capital base, with the goal of reaching $2 billion in equity, supported by new commitments from its member states and partners.
Through this anniversary report, ATIDI reaffirms its ambition to remain a key player in African financial architecture, transforming risk into a development lever and facilitating the mobilization of capital necessary for the continent’s major economic transformation projects.
