Arrangements for the 2026 Annual Meetings events and the Annual General Meeting, initially scheduled in Alamein, Egypt from 21 to 24 June 2026 have changed. This follows recent decisions by the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the African Union to postpone the African Union Mid-Year Coordination Summit and the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum, originally scheduled to take place in Alamein from 25 to 27 June 2026, on public health and safety grounds in light of the evolving health situation in parts of the continent. The formal meeting of shareholders will now be conducted by correspondence. For any enquiries, please contact info@afreximbankevents.com #Afreximbank #GlobalAfrica #AAM2026 #AfCFTA

Insurance is a critical pillar of Africaโ€™s economic transformation. Speaking at the 52nd Conference and Annual General Assembly of the African Insurance Organisation (AIO) in Cairo, Mr. Lesley Ndlovu, Chief Executive Officer of AfrexInsure, in a panel themed "Insurance as Economic Infrastructure: Structuring Growth and Expanding Opportunity in Africa" highlighted the central role of insurance in supporting trade, investment, industrialisation, and sustainable development across the continent. As Africa advances the implementation of the AfCFTA and pursues greater economic integration, strong insurance and reinsurance capacity will be essential to unlocking capital, reducing risk, and improving the bankability of strategic projects. Working alongside Afreximbank, AfrexInsure is helping to build the financial architecture that underpins Africaโ€™s growth by providing specialised insurance solutions that support major investments, strengthen investor confidence, and facilitate the delivery of transformative projects across key sectors of the economy. By leveraging Africaโ€™s growing insurance capacity, deep market expertise, and strategic partnerships, AfrexInsure continues to support the development of stronger institutions, more resilient economies, and greater opportunities for businesses across the continent. #Afreximbank #AfrexInsure #AIO2026 #Insurance #Industrialisation #GlobalAfrica

Insurance is more than a financial service. It is a critical enabler of trade, investment, and economic growth. At the 52nd Conference and Annual General Assembly of the African Insurance Organisation in Cairo, Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development at Afreximbank, highlighted the importance of strengthening Africa's insurance and reinsurance capacity to support the AfCFTA and unlock new opportunities for businesses across the continent. From PAPSS and transit guarantees to trade credit solutions and AfrexInsure, Afreximbank is helping build the financial infrastructure that makes African trade more secure, competitive, and scalable. As Africa's single market continues to grow, stronger institutions, deeper partnerships, and greater risk retention will be essential to driving industrialisation, investment, and sustainable development. #Afreximbank #AIO2026 #AfrexInsure #AfCFTA #GlobalAfrica

One year ago today, the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) @amce_africa opened its doors and began redefining healthcare in Africa. Built on a bold vision to bring world-class healthcare closer to Africans, AMCE has spent the past 365 days delivering exceptional care, restoring hope, and advancing medical excellence through its dedicated team of healthcare professionals. For too long, Africans looked beyond the continent for specialised treatment. Today, AMCE stands as proof that Africa can deliver healthcare at the highest global standards. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate a year of impact and reaffirm our commitment to building a healthier, stronger future for Africa. Happy First Anniversary, AMCE. #AMCEAt1 #AMCE #HealthcareExcellence #Afreximbank #GlobalAfrica
