Republic of Mauritius- President of Africa Finance Corporation pays courtesy call on Prime Minister

In a statement to the press, Mr Zubairu said that he had a cordial meeting with the Prime Minister and discussions focused on AFC’s interest to seek investment opportunities and work collaboratively with Mauritius.

Mr Zubairu emphasised that a list of projects has been identified with the Government while adding that the AFC invests in high quality infrastructure assets that provide essential services in the infrastructure sectors of power, natural resources, heavy industry, transport and logistics.

According to him, by working together, both AFC and Mauritius will be able to drive the Mauritius-Africa Strategy which is committed towards developing Special Economic Zones in several African countries such as Senegal, Kenya, Mozambique, Ghana, and Madagascar.

Established in 2007, the core mission of the AFC as an investment grade multilateral finance institution is to be the catalyst for private sector-led infrastructure investment across Africa.  It acts both as a leading financier and adviser offering project, trade finance and structured debt, greenfield equity, and buy-out capital as well as fixed income products.
