G-NEXID's 21st Annual General Assembly calls for stronger cooperation to accelerate sustainable development and trade financing
The event brought together Export-Import Banks, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), Public Development Banks, strategic partners and international organisations from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
As G-NEXID commemorates its 20th anniversary, the Assembly provided a platform for members to discuss ways to expand trade and development finance, strengthen regional value chains, and enhance co-financing and risk-sharing arrangements to accelerate sustainable development across the Global South.
Speaking at the event, Dr George Agyekum Donkor, Honorary President of G-NEXID and President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID), underscored the need for stronger cooperation among Development Finance Institutions and Export-Import Banks, stressing that greater collaboration, co-financing, and knowledge sharing are essential to delivering measurable development impact and sustainable prosperity.
A major highlight of the Assembly was the official launch of G-NEXID's flagship publication, "Strengthening Trade and Related Finance for the Global South". The publication provides practical insights into the opportunities and challenges shaping South-South trade and development finance, while highlighting the importance of innovative financing, sustainability, and strategic partnerships in driving economic transformation across the Global South.
