Unlocking Development Financing: The Role of Sub-Regional Development Banks in Africa’s Growth

In an interview with CNBC Africa, our CEO, Daouda Sembene, discusses the significance of our latest report, Chasing Capital: Sub-Regional Development Banks in Focus.

He highlights the challenges African countries face in mobilizing funds and emphasizes the crucial role SRDBs can play in meeting development financing needs.

He also explores how South Africa’s G20 presidency can help drive more funding for development, stressing that access to timely, sustainable, and affordable financing should not be limited to multilateral development banks like the World Bank. With the right support, SRDBs can make a significant impact on Africa’s development finance landscape.
