Entities: Benin Textile (BTEX) · Société d'Investissement et de Promotion de l'Industrie du Bénin (SIPI‑Benin) · George Elombi · Glo‑Djigbé Industrial Zone · Afreximbank

Overview

In early July, Afreximbank President George Elombi urged the creation of an African credit‑ratings agency and called for a shift in the narrative around African finance, emphasizing the need for continent‑specific assessments to support growth.

By the end of the month, Elombi traveled to Benin’s Glo‑Djigbé Industrial Zone, touring textile and ceramics facilities.

The visit reinforced his earlier call by showcasing concrete intra‑African trade and industrial projects that Afreximbank backs, illustrating a move from advocacy to on‑the‑ground promotion of regional manufacturing hubs.
