The New African Financial Architecture for Development is the solution to financing Africa's transformation. It is time to back our own institutions, strengthen them, and give them the financial muscle to mobilise capital, mitigate risk, and drive the continent's development on African terms. The goal is to move Africa from a recipient of global capital to a mobiliser of its own and from dependence on external risk assessment to African institutions capable of pricing African opportunities accurately. Kenya is already leading by example. Through the National Infrastructure Fund, we are mobilising domestic savings at an unprecedented scale. By the end of this week, the fund will have mobilised KSh300 billion ($2.3 billion) which, leveraged at a ratio 1:10, will finance our mega infrastructure development programme. Hosted the 26th Annual General Meeting of the African Trade and Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI) dinner, State House Nairobi. We thank ATIDI for supporting Kenya's development journey by over $7 billion in investments in energy, transport, manufacturing, agriculture, and trade sectors. To deepen that partnership, Kenya will progressively increase shareholding in ATIDI from $25 million to $65 million as we strengthen the continent's financial institutions to fund the future.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
