The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has announced a 25 per cent growth in net income for the first quarter of 2026, driven by strong lending activities, disciplined balance sheet management and improved profitability.
A statement issued by Vincent Musumba, Communications and Events Manager, Afreximbank, on Friday stated that the financial result was for the three months, which ended March 31, 2026.
According to the statement, the performance underscores its resilience and strong deal execution in a challenging global operating environment.
It stated that the Group expanded its lending activities in Q1 2026, resulting in total credit exposure increasing by two per cent to reach a portfolio of 42 billion dollars, compared to 41 billion dollars recorded as of Dec. 31, 2025.
The bank attributed the growth to its continued role as a leading Development Finance Institution (DFI) supporting trade and trade-enabling infrastructure across Africa and the Caribbean.
