In this interview the \u201cBest development banker\u00a0in Africa\u201c, a distinction<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>presented during the last\u00a0Financial Afrik Awards,\u00a0looks back on the highlights of his institution and<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>discusses the outlook for 2022.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><br \/><strong>2021 was a rich year for TDB. How has your portfolio evolved?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><br \/>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3>Our portfolio has grown strongly over several years in terms of\u00a0total balance sheet and revenue, with a very good momentum.\u00a0\u00a0Of course, during the pandemic we experienced a slight slowdown for obvious reasons.\u00a0During this period however, we have strengthened our roots in our traditional markets.\u00a0We have also managed to grow our portfolio in newer markets like Mozambique, South Sudan and\u00a0also Madagascar.\u00a0\u00a0Our strategy is to ensure a good return on investment for our shareholders while generating impact for the people and countries we serve. Among other sectors, TDB has been participating in the financing of various infrastructure projects, in transport, energy and telecoms, in particular, fiber optic cables, as well as railways,\u00a0and\u00a0infrastructure to improve the supply chain of landlocked countries. We intervene across multiple sectors and multiple countries.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><br \/><strong> Since its change of name in 2017, TDB has seen its shareholding expanding. Could you present an overview of your institution by December 2021?<\/strong><br \/><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><br \/><\/h3>\n<p>Underpinned by significant reforms, we have gone though some transformation\u00a0over the past several years in terms of our capital structure and market presence. Originally, we were restricted to COMESA member states. But now we go beyond, and cover non-COMESA countries in the EAC and SADC, and are planning to expand towards the Western seaboard of the continent, more particularly with Senegal, Ghana and Mauritania.\u00a0\u00a0We serve sovereign, financial institutions as well as corporate clients with our portfolio of trade finance and project finance products and services. For now, I\u00a0cannot say too much about our financial picture for 2021 as our audited result haven\u2019t yet been published.\u00a0\u00a0To recall, the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) has shareholders in 22 member countries across COMESA, EAC, IGAD and SADC, 2 non-regional member countries, in addition to institutional investors in Africa and globally, including African Development Bank (AfDB), African Economic Research Consortium (AERC), Africa Reinsurance Corporation (Africa-Re) Insurance, the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), Banco Nacional de Investimento (BNI, Mozambique), Caisse Nationale de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 Sociale (CNSS, Djibouti), Eagle Insurance (Mauritius), Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU, Denmark), National Pension Fund (NPF, Mauritius), National Social Security Fund (NSSF, Uganda), The OPEC Fund for International Development (the OPEC Fund), PTA Reinsurance Company (ZEP-RE), Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB), Sacos Insurance Group (Seychelles), and Seychelles Pension Fund (SPF).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong> COVID-19 has affected many countries and institutions. What has been the effects of this pandemic on\u00a0the quality of your portfolio?<\/strong><br \/><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>First, as I mentioned, it\u2019s been slightly slower than usual growth. Second, regarding our portfolio, our non-performing loans have increased slightly, but remain under 3%. The worst is now behind\u00a0us.<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><br \/><strong> How is your risk profile on international and regional loan markets?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>TDB is rated by Moody\u2019s, Fitch and GCR. We have been rated as investment grade since 2017 by Moody\u2019s and GCR. Our ratings were affirmed throughout the pandemic, and our\u00a0outlooks were recently upgraded to positive by both GCR and Fitch, and stable by Moody\u2019s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><br \/><strong> What are your perspectives on African finance as well as finance in Eastern and Southern Africa in general, in a context of heighted political, health and climate risks?<\/strong><br \/><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>We are in a\u00a0changing world facing various important changes, notably climate change, regional integration including via the AfCFTA, an energy transition, and disruption with the advent of artificial intelligence as key factor of economic growth, and important demographic growth.\u00a0\u00a0There are several mega-trends and a lot of economic pressures our economies are facing.\u00a0\u00a0For financial institutions like TDB,\u00a0the question is how to assist countries to address those\u00a0challenges and overcome as well as adapt to changing and new realities.\u00a0There is the question of healthy financial system which is frequently referred to in this context of rising risks.\u00a0Our question, in turn, revolves around how we can use our resources more effectively to help African countries respond and overcome shocks and challenges while unlocking opportunities at the same time as climate and SDG imperatives.<\/h3>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":475704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"translated_post_url_fr":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11996,12040,12046],"tags":[16102,15614,16059],"class_list":{"0":"post-475703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-finance-en","8":"category-international-institutions","9":"category-leaders-en","10":"tag-admassu-tadesse","11":"tag-tdb","12":"tag-trade-and-development-bank","13":"post_format-post-format-aside","14":"pmpro-has-access"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Interview with Admassu Tadesse, President Emeritus and Managing Director of TDB Group - Financial Afrik<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Headed by Adama Wade and his team of 20 journalists, Kapital Afrik offers strategic and financial information to executives and managers.
