African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) is planning to raise equity worth $200 million in Nigeria via the issuance of depositary receipts, according to Bloomberg report.
The Cairo-based lender, according to the report, is in talks with Nigerian regulators to issue depositary receipts and raise equity worth $200 million by the third quarter, Afreximbank said in an emailed response to questions.
The bank is also considering two other Africa markets, which it said it would release details once discussions have been finalised.
Afreximbank, which was started in Nigeria in 1993 to finance and promote trade across Africa, will list about 67 million existing depository receipts on the Nigerian Stock Exchange to improve liquidity, it said.
The lender approved $3.2 billion of credit for Nigerian companies last year and has received loan applications from more than 30 firms in the West African nation seeking “specialised credit” or loans for trade, projects, and infrastructure finance, the lender said.
It is targeting trade, financial services, tourism, manufacturing, export infrastructure and agro-processing for loans, it said.
As the Nigerian economy recovers, “funding is required to harness the opportunities,” Afreximbank said, adding that it is talking with the Nigerian Export-Import Bank about a joint program that will grow the country’s non-oil exports. Gross domestic product in Africa’s biggest crude producer expanded 0.8 percent in 2017 compared with a contraction of 1.6 percent in 2016.
The 162-member Nigerian Stock Exchange All-Share Index has gained 13 percent this year after rallying 42 percent in 2017.
