<\/div>

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) on Monday convened a meeting between African Finance Ministers, the Africa Private Sector Working Group and the African Union (AU) Special Envoy on COVID-19 as the search continues for solutions to ensure African economies enjoy continued market access and meet their private sector debt service obligations.<\/p>\n

The meeting aimed at finding new financing solutions to provide additional resources for countries to mitigate the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and ways to improve the profile and terms of Africa\u2019s commercial debt obligations so that Africa can better confront the health crisis. The discussion engaged the recently formed Africa Private Sector Working Group, which represents leading private creditors to African countries.<\/p>\n

In her remarks, Ms. Vera Songwe, ECA\u2019s Executive Secretary stressed that; \u201cAfrican countries are committed to meeting all their obligations to commercial creditors in a timely manner and want to maintain access to international debt markets for the build back period.\u201d She also added, \u2018\u2019Most African countries were on a successful reform track prior to the crisis, that is why they had access to the capital markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Discussions focused on ways in which the interests of both African governments and commercial creditors could be aligned to deal with the double crisis of a health pandemic and an economic recession. During the meeting, the Finance Ministers agreed on the importance of maintaining Eurobond coupon payments so as to maintain post-pandemic access to international debt markets for development finance and on having an ongoing coordinated dialogue with creditors.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the creditor group, Mr. Kevin Daly, Senior Investment Manager at Aberdeen Asset Management, said; \u201cWe expressed our desire to support African countries address liquidity pressures that have arisen due to the crisis, and by ensuring they remain current on their Eurobonds, we believe financing opportunities will materialize soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also noted that the creditor group was proposing some innovative financing solutions, such as special purpose bonds that are targeted to Social Development Goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese would be appealing to investors who are increasingly focused on social development goal issues, and instruments that are partially guaranteed by multilateral institutions and that could help to ease liquidity pressures,\u201d said Mr. Daly.<\/p>\n

For his part, former Credit Suisse boss and Cote d\u2019Ivoire minister, African Union Special Envoy Tidjane Thiam, who chaired the meeting said; \u201cWe are all aligned, we want Africa to develop and grow, so let us work together on concrete solutions. Time is of the essence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Africa PSWG coordinates the views of over 25 of the world\u2019s foremost asset managers and financial institutions providing private finance to nations and companies through Eurobonds, syndicated loans and other credit products across the continent.<\/p>\n

The group expressed the view that a one-size-fits-all solution would be counter-productive for African nations but welcomed the need to discuss coordinated approaches where possible and expedient.<\/p>\n

All ministers, including the ones from Kenya, Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana, stressed the importance of keeping market access, and agreed that more work is needed to communicate the good economic track record of their countries prior to the crisis.<\/p>\n

The meeting agreed to continue discussions towards rapid, pragmatic and effective solutions on Africa\u2019s commercial debt to manage the COVID-19 crisis and turn Africa back to growth restoring policies and actions.<\/p>\n
