2025: Afreximbank Leads Africa’s Loan Market With Over 23% Share
2025: Afreximbank leads Africa’s loan market with over 23% share. Afreximbank has led Africa’s loan market, ranking Number 1 Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner in the 2025 Bloomberg Africa Borrower Loans League Tables.
African Export-Import Bank has led Africa’s loan market, ranking Number 1 Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner in the 2025 Bloomberg Africa Borrower Loans League Tables.
The Afreximbank said this in a statement on Wednesday.
“The rankings, released by Bloomberg, show that Afreximbank accounted for 23.65 per cent market share as Mandated Lead Arranger, executing 20 transactions during the period under review.
“As bookrunner, the bank holds a 21.66 per cent market share, completing 14 deals, further consolidating its leadership in arranging debt solutions and mobilising capital to support Africa’s economic growth,” it said.
According to the statement, the bank also ranked Number 3 as administrative agent, recording a 13.92 per cent market share across 13 deals.
Bloomberg stated that the Africa Borrower Loans League Tables are a subset of the Bloomberg Capital Markets League Tables, as explained in the statement.
“This tracks top arrangers, bookrunners and advisers across various transactions, including loans, bonds, equity and mergers and acquisitions. The performance underscores Afreximbank’s sustained dominance in African capital markets and its strategic role in mobilising large-scale financing from both domestic and international investors,” it said.
The statement said that the transaction breakdown showed that most syndicated deals were concentrated in the oil and gas sector.
It said this reflected the bank’s intervention to address the significant financing gap across the continent.
Meanwhile, Haytham Elmaayergi, executive vice president, Global Trade Bank at Afreximbank, described the ranking as a testament to the dedication and capability of the bank’s team.

“I am delighted that the stellar performance of our colleagues has been reflected in Bloomberg’s prestigious league tables, which is a real testament to their assiduous determination and capability.
“The rankings underscore Afreximbank’s commitment to facilitating capital flows in order to drive economic growth and prosperity in the continent. We will continue to focus on leveraging our unique position to promote high-impact investments and bridge the financing gap across Africa’s most critical sectors,” Mr Elmaayergi said.
The latest rankings mark a continuation of Afreximbank’s consistent presence at the top of Bloomberg’s league tables in recent years.
This reinforces its position as one of Africa’s foremost financial institutions, driving structured trade and project financing across key sectors.
Pensioners Threaten Nationwide Protest, Demand Governors Urgently Review Payment
The National Association of Retirees of State Governments has threatened a nationwide protest unless state governors urgently review pension payments in line with existing labour laws.
Simon Anchaver, president of the union, made the call in Yenagoa at the inauguration of the Bayelsa interim executive of the newly registered union.
The union demanded that the 36 state governors prioritise pension payments.
They equally called on President Bola Tinubu to establish a ministry for pension affairs to guarantee annual budgetary allocations for pensioners’ welfare.

The union bemoaned the arbitrary payment of pensions by some governors, and commended the Nasarawa state governor for releasing N7 billion to clear pension arrears and gratuity.
Its national secretary, Bipre Ndiomu, said the union was newly registered and currently inaugurating state executives. He urged state governors to put in place the modalities to guarantee the welfare of pensioners across the country.
Protest Demolition
Bayelsa’s head of service, Wisdom Sawyer, urged the executive to serve as a bridge between retirees and the government, adding that the state government was open to engagement on outstanding issues.
The newly inaugurated state chairman, Bazigha Tanwei, accepted the mandate and promised an open-door policy, regular consultations with members, and sustained advocacy with the state government to clear arrears.
