The Africa Energy Bank (AEB) has launched with $5 billion in approved capital, established by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the African Petroleum Producers' Organisation (APPO) at its first general assembly in Abuja, Nigeria, on October 31, 2026. Helmy Ghazi was named the bank's first president, with an inaugural board drawn from the public and private sectors and policy institutions. The bank's mandate spans the full oil and gas value chain, from exploration and production to transportation, processing, refining, and distribution. The founders cited declining funding for African fossil fuel projects from existing short- and long-term financial institutions as the rationale, positioning AEB to fill the financing gap left by their withdrawal. Watch for details on capital deployment, member-state contributions, and the bank's first project financings.
