African Development Bank (AfDB), one of the major development financiers of the continent, urges Canadian business leaders to take part in the upcoming November Africa Investment Forum (AIF) and seize the investment opportunities Africa offers to the world. The African Development Bank has the strategy to address these infrastructure finance gaps—and Room2Run gives us the capacity to make it happen,” he said. AIF, which will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa from 7-9 November 2018, is expected to bring global companies to invest in infrastructure development of Africa. Although securitization is routine for commercial banks, it is cutting-edge for development finance institutions. The African Development Bank is the first Multi-Lateral Development Bank (MDB) to use this game-changing innovative financing mechanism.
