Trade Finance Credit Lines for housing sector

Demand for medium to long term capital for financing housing developments and mortgages in African Countries far outweigh the supply. This is evidenced by a scan of most African financial institutions’ financial statements that demonstrate the maturity of their liabilities are largely short term and inappropriate for creation of long-term assets such as mortgages. We can mobilize long-term resources for on-lending to address this gap.

Our 2019-2023 Strategic Plan has shifted from predominantly financing small scale developers to large- scale housing schemes across our member countries. We do this confident in the knowledge that we can leverage our partnerships with local financial institutions and reach out to small-scale developers. This will also allow us build up technical expertise in these institutions.
