The African Export-Import Bank, Afreximbank, has reported a net interest income of $411.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting its strong financial performance and strategic lending activity across the continent.
This figure marks a continued growth trajectory for the bank, which has been instrumental in supporting trade finance, project development, and economic integration in Africa. The bank attributed the robust earnings to increased interest-generating assets, prudent risk management, and a diversified portfolio of trade finance and development loans.
