The event brought together senior government officials, investors, development finance institutions and private sector stakeholders, including leading Japanese companies, to explore actionable strategies for mobilizing more sustainable Japanese investment into Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese companies have been increasingly exploring Africa\u2019s high-growth markets across sectors such as infrastructure, telecommunications, manufacturing and energy. MUFG, as Japan\u2019s largest financial institution, has taken a strategic interest in Africa, participating in major infrastructure financings and supporting Japanese clients expanding into the region. NEXI, Japan\u2019s official export credit agency, became a shareholder of ATIDI in 2023, contributing USD15.1 million to ATIDI\u2019s capital base, reinforcing its long-term commitment to de-risking Japanese investments in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Under the theme &#8220;Unlocking Japanese Private Sector Investment in Africa&#8221;, the event featured two high-impact sessions. The first highlighted lessons learned from Japanese investments in Africa to date and discussed opportunities for more direct Japanese investment in Africa, with a focus on the landmark liberalization of Ethiopia\u2019s telecom sector. The session showcased the launch of Safaricom Telecommunications Ethiopia Plc (STE), a major investment that stands as the single largest FDI in Ethiopia and one of the most significant Japanese-backed projects on the continent. Through this flagship project the session shared insights into how foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a catalytic role in advancing large-scale infrastructure projects in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>ATIDI played a pivotal role in enabling this milestone by issuing a 10-year Political Risk Insurance (PRI) policy to Sumitomo Corporation, a key Japanese investor in the STE consortium. The policy covers key political risks such as expropriation, currency inconvertibility and breach of contract, backed by NEXI\u2019s reinsurance support. This innovative risk solution exemplifies the growing synergy between ATIDI and NEXI in empowering Japanese companies to seize high-potential opportunities in Africa with greater confidence.<\/p>\n<p>The second session shifted the focus to unlocking institutional and private capital from Japan to power Africa\u2019s development agenda. Speakers delved into how de-risking mechanisms, blended finance models and public-private partnerships can drive large-scale investment in sectors such as infrastructure, energy and digital transformation. MUFG shared its experience in structuring cross-border investments, while ATIDI showcased its expanding range of risk mitigation instruments tailored to the needs of investors across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining ATIDI, NEXI has worked to expand its support for Japanese firms operating in African markets, with a growing pipeline of co-insured projects.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, during the TICAD meeting, ATIDI and MUFG signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will promote collaboration in providing innovative risk mitigation solutions for Japanese investors in Africa. As MUFG looks to bring international and Japanese liquidity to Africa through their work with sovereigns, DFI and blended finance, ATIDI will support with insurance and guarantees to encourage investment, supporting development across the African continent. ATIDI&#8217;s robust portfolio already covers 72 policies across several African countries, supporting transactions valued at over USD5.4 billion, with MUFG arranged financing exposures totalling approximately USD1.86 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote from Manuel Moses, Chief Executive Officer, ATIDI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlocking Africa\u2019s vast potential requires bold partnerships and innovative risk solutions. This collaboration with MUFG and NEXI demonstrates how strategic alliances can drive transformational investment. By mitigating risk and building investor confidence, we are not only enabling landmark projects like Safaricom Ethiopia but also paving the way for a new era of Japanese private sector engagement across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ankit Khandelwal, Director, Head of Africa for sovereigns, development finance institutions (DFIs) and blended finance, MUFG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of our continued commitment to fostering sustainable development across Africa and unlocking new investment opportunities for Japanese corporate clients, we are proud to collaborate with ATIDI and NEXI on this pivotal event. Together, we aim to explore practical pathways for increasing Japanese private sector engagement on the continent. This initiative supports the objectives of TICAD 9, with a shared focus on advancing quality infrastructure, driving the energy transition, and enhancing public-private partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote from Atsuo Kuroda, Chairman and CEO, NEXI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur collaboration with partners including ATIDI and MUFG has enabled us to provide diverse support for Japanese companies\u2019 businesses with Africa. We have been working closely with ATIDI which led to our reinsurance support for the remarkable telecommunications project in Ethiopia, our investment to ATIDI, and services tailored to Japanese companies such as the Japan Desk. NEXI has also strengthened our partnership with financial institutions in Japan to support Africa at times of an unexpected crisis, Covid-19. We are pleased to share our experiences in the event and will continue to engage in public-private partnerships to support Africa\u2019s further development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Africa charts a path toward inclusive and sustainable growth and in line with TICAD9\u2019s theme &#8211; &#8220;Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa&#8221;- the side event offered a timely opportunity to reflect on how to deepen economic ties between Japan and the continent. Through innovation, strategic partnerships and shared vision, ATIDI, MUFG and NEXI are committed to transforming African potential in to lasting prosperity, creating a resilient future powered by investment, collaboration and opportunity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 478px; top: 60.1302px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-hosted by ATIDI, MUFG and NEXI, the event was held under the theme &#8220;Unlocking Japanese Private Sector Investment in Africa&#8221; The discussions highlighted Africa\u2019s investment-readiness and the growing momentum for strategic, impactful Japanese-African cooperation.
