The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC) (http://ICIEC.IsDB.org), a Shariah-based multilateral insurer and member of the Islamic Development Bank Group, is pleased to announce that Moody’s Ratings has affirmed the Corporation’s Aa3 Insurance Financial Strength Rating (IFSR) with a Stable Outlook, reflecting the agency’s ongoing confidence in the Corporation’s strong financial fundamentals and strategic importance as a member of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group.
Moody's cited ICIEC’s strengthening standalone credit profile, including its role as a leading multilateral provider of Shariah-compliant export credit and investment insurance and reinsurance solutions. The agency highlighted improved underwriting performance supported by enhanced risk management, strong asset quality and liquidity, and strong capital adequacy. The Corporation’s preferred creditor status among its Member Countries further reinforces its financial strength and institutional standing.
The rating also benefits from the strong institutional and shareholder support of the IsDB and sovereign shareholders, including Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Commenting on the rating affirmation, Dr. Khalid Khalafalla, Chief Executive Officer of ICIEC, stated: “This affirmation is a strong endorsement of ICIEC’s financial resilience and our ability to manage risks effectively in an increasingly complex global environment. It strengthens our position as a trusted multilateral partner, enabling us to expand our reach, mobilise investment and deliver meaningful development impact across our Member Countries through innovative Shariah-compliant insurance solutions.”
The Stable Outlook primarily reflects expected ongoing shareholder support, alongside expectations of continued risk management improvements and strong financial fundamentals as ICIEC expands and diversifies its operations while maintaining prudent underwriting discipline. Moody’s also identified ICIEC’s exposure to geopolitical risks and its smaller operational scale relative to peers as moderating factors.

The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) (www.AfDB.org) and UK Export Finance (UKEF), the United Kingdom’s export credit agency, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen cooperation on co-financing projects across Africa and mobilise additional resources for the continent’s sustainable development.
Abdul Kamara, Officer in Charge, Vice President of the African Development Bank Group, and Tim Reid, Chief Executive of UK Export Finance, signed the agreement on 21 October in Conakry, Guinea, on the sidelines of the fifth UK–West and Central Francophone Africa Trade and Investment Forum (WCAF V). It is the first framework agreement between the two institutions.
“Africa’s financing needs call for partnerships that bring additional capital to the continent at scale. This agreement with UK Export Finance gives our cooperation a structured framework and opens new opportunities to finance the infrastructure and investments that will drive Africa’s growth,” said Abdul Kamara, OIC Vice President of the African Development Bank Group.
The Memorandum of Understanding provides a framework for the two institutions to identify, assess and develop co-financing opportunities for sovereign and non-sovereign operations in the Bank’s regional member countries, drawing on each institution’s financial instruments. The partnership will bring together development finance and export credit to crowd in additional capital for Africa’s strategic investments. Priority areas include energy, infrastructure, water and sanitation, health, digital infrastructure, critical minerals, supply chain resilience, alongside agriculture and trade finance.
“This agreement deepens the relationship between UK Export Finance and the African Development Bank Group. By combining our financial instruments and expertise, we can unlock greater co-financing for the infrastructure, energy and trade priorities that matter most to Africa's growth. UKEF is committed to supporting that ambition, and this partnership will help us do so at greater scale”, said Tim Reid, Chief Executive, UK Export Finance.
The partnership supports the Bank Group’s efforts to mobilise capital at scale, in line with its Four Cardinal Points (https://apo-opa.co/4jHBqUh) strategic priorities.
The agreement also reflects the long-standing partnership between the Bank Group and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom joined the African Development Fund (ADF) in 1973 and became a member of the African Development Bank in 1983. He remains a major contributor to the African Development Fund, which is the Bank Group’s concessional financing window.
The UK Export Finance, established in 1919 as the world’s first export credit agency, provides finance and insurance to support UK businesses and is increasingly active across Africa.

Côte d’Ivoire’s Poro Power Solar Plant Earns International Awards for Pioneering Africa Finance Corporation-Led Project

Côte d’Ivoire's Poro Power solar project has received international recognition for a pioneering investment structure led by Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) (www.AfricaFC.org/), demonstrating how African capital can be mobilised to develop essential infrastructure and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy. The facility is expected to become Côte d’Ivoire's largest solar plant when operational in 2027.
The project won ESG Green Bond Deal of the Year for Africa at the recent Infra Global ESG Awards 2026 in London, while AFC received ESG Green Bond Arranger of the Year for Africa. The double honours recognise the innovation behind the Poro Power transaction and AFC's role in structuring and mobilising investment for sustainable infrastructure.
Developed by Ivorian entrepreneurs, the 66-megawatt solar plant is under construction in northern Côte d’Ivoire near the city of Korhogo. It is projected to generate approximately 136 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually, meeting the needs of more than 100,000 households and benefiting an estimated half a million people.
Beyond providing homes, public services and businesses with reliable power, the project will help Côte d’Ivoire towards meeting its target of increasing renewable energy's share of electricity generation to 45% by 2030. The Government of Côte d’Ivoire is enabling projects such as Poro Power through its initiative to encourage local private-sector participation in large-scale renewable energy projects, led by the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy under Minister Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly.
“These awards are a tremendous recognition for an Ivorian project developed to meet the needs of our own communities,” said Jean-Marc Aie, Chairman and CEO of Poro Power 1 S.A. “Our ambition is not simply to generate clean electricity, but to support businesses, create opportunities and contribute to the development of Côte d’Ivoire. The Ministry's strategy to empower local private developers to undertake large-scale renewable energy projects, together with AFC's investment and innovative financing structure, has been instrumental in bringing Poro Power to this stage.” 
The €65 million financing package, equivalent to approximately FCFA 42.6 billion, was raised through a green bond — an investment instrument that enables institutions to lend money to projects delivering environmental benefits. It was the first project-finance green bond in both Côte d’Ivoire and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), establishing a precedent for French-speaking West Africa, and was led, structured and fully funded by African institutions. The transaction allowed investors to participate in both euros and CFA francs, making it also Côte d’Ivoire's first dual-currency green bond. Together, these features demonstrate how African financial institutions can mobilise their own capital for major infrastructure projects, using financing structures suited to African markets.
AFC invested €43 million (approximately FCFA 28.2 billion) in February 2026 and acted as anchor investor, lead underwriter and co-arranger. The equivalent of a further €22 million was raised from African investors, including local and regional banks, pension funds, insurance companies and high-net worth investors.
The bond has a 15-year term, a fixed interest rate of 8.75%, and quarterly repayments following a two-year construction grace period. The financing combines the flexibility of a bond with safeguards normally used in project finance, including first-ranking security, dedicated revenue accounts and contractual protections that separate the project's cash flows from other activities. These measures help protect investors and align repayments with the plant's expected revenues.
By bringing together AFC's investment alongside capital from other African institutions through a structure that accommodates both local and international currencies, the transaction offers a potential model for financing further renewable energy and infrastructure projects across the region. Its significance extends beyond Poro Power, providing a practical example of African money financing African projects and a structure that could be replicated across the continent.
“Poro Power demonstrates that African financial institutions have both the capital and the expertise to finance large-scale renewable energy infrastructure through our own markets,” said Sameh Shenouda, Executive Board Member and Chief Investment Officer of AFC. “By combining the protections required for long-term project finance with the flexibility of capital markets, we have created a structure that can attract a broader range of African investors. This is an important model for mobilising the investment needed to expand reliable electricity supply, support industry and accelerate the energy transition across the region.”
Once operational, the plant is projected to avoid approximately 72,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually — equivalent to taking around 15,600 petrol-powered cars off the road for a year.
The project includes a commitment to allocate €0.01 for every megawatt-hour of electricity generated towards to initiatives intended to benefit local communities.
