Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>In pursuit of geopolitical clout, in 2021 the United Arab Emirates made a promise to expand aggressively into markets beyond its usual horizons.<\/p>\n

Since then, it\u2019s pledged more investment in Africa\u2019s economies than any other country and now jockeys for influence with established players like China and France.<\/p>\n

The wealthy Gulf state is piling in both through its government and private sector. It swooped in last month to save Egypt\u2019s economy with a $35 billion deal \u2014 a figure representing 7% of the UAE\u2019s annual economic output \u2014 and would be willing to invest a similar amount in a different African nation were a new opportunity to present itself, according to an official familiar with the Egypt bailout who asked to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n

While these FDI numbers count money pledged and not necessarily spent, based on the deals it\u2019s witnessing Africa\u2019s largest bank said it\u2019s also confident that the UAE will grow into one of the biggest sources of foreign investment on the continent over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Growth is \u201cnot linear,\u201d the chief executive officer of Standard Bank Group Ltd Middle East and North Africa Rassem Zok said in an interview. \u201cTwo years ago it was spectacular growth, last year it was still comfortably in the double-digits, but the next two-to-three years we\u2019ll see a return to growth in the thirties and above.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Chinese infrastructural funding tapers off and Western engagement wavers, Abu Dhabi\u2019s cash flows have been coupled with a concerted diplomatic push: an approach mirrored to a lesser extent by its neighbors Saudi Arabia and Qatar. These ambitions have taken the UAE beyond the Gulf states\u2019 historic North-African sphere of influence and from the nearby Horn of Africa into every corner of the continent.<\/p>\n

What the UAE\u2019s been practicing through these deals is a kind of \u201cnetwork-centric statecraft,\u201d said Andreas Krieg, a lecturer in Middle Eastern security issues at King\u2019s College in London. In pursuit of influence, the Emiratis \u201care trying to position themselves as the gateway into Africa for Russia, for China, but also for western countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UAE pledged $52.8 billion in foreign direct investment in 2022, when it first topped FDI rankings, which exceeds Beijing\u2019s contributions by 20 times and those of the US by seven, according to data from fDi Markets. That figure fell to $44.5 billion in 2023 \u2014 still nearly twice that of China, which came in second.<\/p>\n

These investments are focused mainly in renewable energy, logistics, technology, real estate and agriculture. After the Covid pandemic, the market \u201cgot rebased, in terms of valuations, so there is a very interesting entry point for a lot of investors now,\u201d Standard Bank\u2019s Zok added.<\/p>\n

Financial lifeline<\/b><\/p>\n

Last month\u2019s Egyptian bailout extended the UAE\u2019s strategy of offering African nations major financial lifelines, after it previously came to the aid of Sudan and Ethiopia. Alongside these deals, Abu Dhabi\u2019s signed a dozen investment treaties since 2019 with countries further afield, like Zambia, Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

Beyond investment flows, the UAE has also played a role in Africa\u2019s domestic political affairs. It backed Khalifa Haftar in the war for Libya, Ethiopian President Abiy Ahmed in his war against Tigray rebels, and, according to a leaked UN report, the Rapid Support Forces militia in Sudan, where a brutal civil war has created the world\u2019s biggest internal displacement crisis and drawn accusations of war crimes. The UAE denies supplying the RSF with weapons.<\/p>\n

UAE-based companies have focused primarily on Africa\u2019s better-developed economies where strong infrastructure and economic expansion are stoking demand for energy, according to Sandile Hlophe, head of government and infrastructure at EY Africa.<\/p>\n

They include Egypt, Morocco, South Africa and Kenya, which in February became the sixth country to sign a special free-trade agreement with the UAE, following economic heavyweights like India and Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Dubai-based AMEA Power LLC, which is developing projects in more than a dozen African countries, plans to spend $1 billion on renewable projects on the continent this year. \u201cThey need power and they\u2019re blessed with resources,\u201d including abundant wind, solar and hydro, said Hussain Al Nowais, chairman of AMEA\u2019s owners AlNowais Invesments LLC. Just under half of sub-Saharan Africans lack access to electricity, according to the World Bank.<\/p>\n

Copper, lithium and cobalt from central and southern Africa will be crucial both to the green-energy transition the UAE hopes to spearhead and to its efforts to diversify its own economy away from the oil and gas that fueled its rapid rise. Last November, International Holding Company, the $240-billion conglomerate controlled by the brother of President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, paid $1.1 billion for a 51% stake in Zambia\u2019s Mopani Copper Mines.<\/p>\n

This focus on renewables was cemented at the Africa Climate Summit in September, the conference in Kenya that preceded the Dubai-hosted COP28, at which Abu Dhabi\u2019s Sultan Ahmed Al-Jabber announced $4.5 billion in climate financing for the continent. That\u2019s to be led by Masdar, the state-owned renewable energy company that he chairs, while AlNowais\u2019s AMEA pledged $1 billion in equity investments as part of the deal \u2014 a sign of how the country\u2019s private and public sectors move together.<\/p>\n

\u201cUAE looks at this as opportunity, and as an investor I saw it in a big way,\u201d AlNowais said. \u201cThat continent is a rich continent. Rich with all kind of resources but unfortunately it hasn\u2019t yet been fully developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Masdar also bought a stake in South African renewables company one of Africa\u2019s largest green energy firms, Lekela Power, in 2022.<\/p>\n

The UAE is not the only Gulf nation pushing to expand its influence in Africa. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have made similar efforts in recent years, marshalling both state resources and the private sector. ACWA Power, a Riyadh-based company, has signed a memorandum of understanding to invest $10 billion in South Africa\u2019s renewables industry over the next ten years.<\/p>\n

But neither has the reach of the UAE, whose investment in Africa has been led by DP World, the Dubai-based logistics company that now operates nine ports on the continent, in places like Senegal, Angola and South Africa. It\u2019s the country\u2019s most visible presence in Africa, signing its first deals in the mid-2000s and inking its latest with Tanzania in October. In 2022, it bought South African firm Imperial Logistics for $890 million, providing it with access to logistics channels and warehouses across sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

But the UAE has also looked to Africa to compensate for its weaknesses, including its reliance on food imports. As part of efforts to become food secure, Emirati companies have scooped up agricultural land in Sudan, Zimbabwe and Angola, where Dubai Investments and Abu Dhabi-based E20 Investments in July signed an deal to develop 3,750 hectares of rice and avocado farms \u2014 an area equivalent to around 5,500 football fields.<\/p>\n
