The facility will enable Citi to increase supply chain finance facilities to existing customers and offer them to new customers. These facilities bring much-needed working capital to supply chains as they allow suppliers to Citi\u2019s corporate clients to be paid early and at a beneficial rate of finance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The facility will be targeting SME suppliers and those underserved or excluded businesses. It will boost Citi\u2019s annual supply chain finance volumes in Africa by up to US$ 400 million, with amplified capital support that will enable businesses to better manage cash flow and onboard new suppliers to the supply chain, ensuring the continued flow of goods and services. This will help expand the scope of local businesses and ensure productive and inclusive economic opportunities for diverse groups and communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The partnership between Citi and BII, formerly known as CDC Group, will help bring flexible capital in local currency to markets where access to finance can be limited for businesses, due to the risk which local and international financial institutions attach to lending to the SME space in Africa, and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The facility uses an innovative structure that is a first in this market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the facility, BII will act as a guarantor for supply chain finance facilities provided by Citi, mitigating the financial risks involved. BII and Citi have agreed to\u00a0set impact criteria to ensure that flexible capital is being directed toward underserved groups and BBBEE enterprises for whom access to capital can be limited.\u00a0The increased working capital will promote financial inclusion, support SMEs and improve the resilience for diverse suppliers and buyers, which will help strengthen Africa\u2019s supply chain and keep trade flowing across the continent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Admir Imami, Director, Head of Trade &amp; Supply Chain Finance,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>British International Investment, said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBII\u2019s\u00a0Trade and Supply Chain Finance (TSCF) programme has supported US$ 20.9 billion of trade across Africa and South Asia through partnerships with regional, international financial intermediaries. Our partnership with Citi presents an opportunity\u00a0to help catalyse greater commercial capital to African businesses, bolstering trade and supply chain activities throughout the continent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This agreement demonstrates the potential for flexible British finance combined with strategic partnerships to help reinforce Africa\u2019s supply chains, foster dynamic UK-Africa trade links, and accelerate sustainable economic growth across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Chris Cox, Global Head of Trade &amp; Working Capital Solutions, Treasury and Trade Solutions, Citi said<\/strong>: \u201cWe are delighted to come together with BII to support the growth of supplier financing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Citi is committed to helping economic progress in the communities in which we operate. This agreement will enable us to expand our supply chain finance offering and increase credit to suppliers most in need, in particular the small and medium size enterprises that normally have limited access to financing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investment aligns with SDG 8 \u2013 Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 17 \u2013 Partnerships for the Goals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":527180,"featured_media":475817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","_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},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12040,12046,12065],"tags":[20802],"class_list":{"0":"post-475816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international-institutions","8":"category-leaders-en","9":"category-press-releases","10":"tag-british-international-investment","11":"post_format-post-format-aside","12":"pmpro-has-access"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>British International Investment and Citi agree US$ 100 million risk-sharing facility, to unlock supply chain finance for African businesses - 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.
