We are proud to announce our partnership with British International Investment, a collaborative effort aimed at addressing Africa's significant trade finance gap.

By providing essential funding to African banks, this initiative is helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—many led by women and youth—compete and thrive in the marketplace. With a commitment of $150 million, our partnership seeks to close the estimated $100-120 billion trade finance gap across the continent.

This initiative not only supports the advancement of the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) but also fosters a more resilient and sustainable economy for all. As a recognised 2X investment company, we are dedicated to promoting gender equality, inclusive leadership, and social impact within our workplace and beyond.

We would also like to extend our special thanks to FI Trade Sales, TWC Legal, and FI Trade Product for their invaluable contributions to this partnership.

Together, we continue to build a future filled with opportunity, inclusion, and lasting impact for generations to come.
