ATIDI Holds 25th AGM in Angola, Celebrates $88bn Milestone in African Trade and Investment
AGM to highlight ATIDI’s 25-year legacy in facilitating $88 billion in trade and investment across Africa
The African Trade & Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI) will host its 25th Annual General Meeting (AGM) from June 18 to 21, 2025, in Luanda, Angola, under the theme “Turning Risk into Opportunity, Securing a Sustainable Future.”
The event marks a significant milestone as ATIDI celebrates 25 years of supporting trade and investment across Africa. Delegates from the organization’s 24 African member states, 13 institutional shareholders, development finance institutions, and key strategic partners will convene to reflect on past achievements, reinforce partnerships, and chart the organization’s future path.
A Legacy of Impact
Since its inception, ATIDI has facilitated over USD 88 billion in trade and investment, operating in 24 African countries with the backing of global financial institutions. The organization recently received the “DFI of the Year” award at the 2025 African Banker Awards in Abidjan, a recognition of its growing influence and credibility.
Additional milestones include maintaining an investment-grade credit rating and expanding both its capital base and insurance product offerings.
“Over the past 25 years, ATIDI has evolved from a visionary concept into a leading force in Africa’s development landscape,” said Manuel Moses, Chief Executive Officer of ATIDI. “Guided by our mission to turn African risk into opportunity, we continue to deliver innovative financial solutions that drive resilient, inclusive and sustainable growth.”
Driving Sustainable Development
ATIDI continues to advance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles through initiatives like the Regional Liquidity Support Facility (RLSF), which supports renewable energy projects. To date, the RLSF has backed nine projects across four countries, delivering nearly 182 MW of clean energy and unlocking more than USD 323 million in financing.
The organization also strengthened its impact in late 2024 through a strategic partnership with Germany’s KfW Development Bank. The collaboration aims to enhance SME financing, improve cross-border trade through the COMESA Regional Customs Transit Guarantee (RCTG) Scheme, and support the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
“Sustainability is not a side objective; it is central to our mandate,” said Benjamin Mugisha, ATIDI’s Chief Underwriting Officer. “Our investments promote climate resilience, social inclusion, and long-term economic growth in alignment with the AU’s Agenda 2063 and the SDGs.”
Spotlight on Angola
Angola’s hosting of the AGM reflects its rising influence in regional integration and development finance. Since joining ATIDI in 2023, the country has benefited from over USD 2 billion in ATIDI-backed infrastructure projects in water supply, energy, and gas sectors.
This year’s AGM also coincides with Angola’s chairmanship of the African Union, reinforcing its leadership in shaping Africa’s economic future.
The AGM will feature high-level strategic discussions, presentations on ATIDI’s 2024 results, an Investor Roundtable, and a special Boardroom session for shareholder updates, new accessions, and strategic initiatives.
