Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>On 14 September, the African Development Bank (AfDB), issued a USD 100 million 7-year \u201cFeed Africa\u201d Theme Bond due September 2029. The new issuance was arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Limited and sold in a Private Placement format to a single Japanese investor, Norinchukin Bank, a strong supporter of Agricultural, Fishery and Forestry industries.<\/p>\n

Through this investment in the African Development Bank\u2019s \u201cFeed Africa\u201d theme bond, the investor aims to support the Bank\u2019s initiatives and contribute to the increase in food production in Africa.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, the African Development Bank has issued a certain number of theme bonds linked to its five strategic operational priorities known as the \u201cHigh 5s\u201d, for the purpose of financing projects under each of the High 5 areas.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFeed Africa\u201d bond is intended to support the \u201cFeed Africa\u201d High 5 and the Bank will use its best efforts to direct an amount equal to the net proceeds of the issue of the notes to lending projects which aim to advance the \u201cFeed Africa\u201d strategic priority, subject to and in accordance with the Bank\u2019s lending standards.<\/p>\n

Under its Feed Africa strategy, the Bank is working to (i) contribute to reduce poverty; (ii) end hunger and malnutrition; (iii) make Africa a net food exporter; and (iv) move Africa to the top of export-orientated value chains where it has a comparative advantage. Feed Africa\u2019s overall goal is to make Africa a net food exporter by 2025.<\/p>\n
