Bank consolidates leadership, driving capital flows to fuel the continent’s growth.
African Export-Import Bank has emerged as the No. 1 Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner in Africa’s 2025 Bloomberg Africa Borrower Loans League Tables, commanding a 23.65% market share across 20 transactions.
According to the bank, it also holds a 21.66% share as Bookrunner, completing 14 deals, and ranks No. 3 as Administrative Agent with a 13.92% market share across 13 deals — cementing its position as a top arranger of debt solutions and mobiliser of capital for Africa’s economic growth.
Most syndicated deals were concentrated in the oil and gas sector, highlighting Afreximbank’s role in addressing critical financing gaps across the continent.
Executive VP of Global Trade Bank, Haytham Elmaayergi, praised the ranking as proof of the bank team’s dedication:
“This reflects our commitment to facilitating capital flows, driving economic growth, and promoting high-impact investments across Africa’s most critical sectors.”
Bloomberg’s Africa Borrower Loans League Tables track top arrangers, bookrunners, and advisers across loans, bonds, equity, and M&A, and Afreximbank’s continued top placement underscores its strategic leadership in African capital markets.
