Africa Finance Corporation Secures S&P 'A' Rating, Eyeing Cheaper Liquidity
Abstract：S&P Global has assigned an 'A' long-term credit rating to the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), a move expected to lower borrowing costs and bolster infrastructure investment across the continent.
The Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) has successfully secured an 'A' long-term issuer credit rating from S&P Global, a strategic development aimed at reducing the institution's weighted average cost of capital. This upgrade positions the AFC to expand its footprint in infrastructure financing across the continent by leveraging more favorable borrowing terms in international debt markets.
Strengthening Capital Access
The upgraded rating provides the AFC with enhanced credibility among global investors, potentially facilitating cheaper access to USD and EUR denominated funding.
Macro Economic Implications
While the immediate impact on major G7 currency pairs is negligible, the decision reflects a stabilizing view on top-tier multilateral finance institutions within the region.
- Institution: Africa Finance Corporation (AFC)
- Rating: S&P 'A' Rating
- Funding Targets: USD, EUR denominated debt
