Afreximbank's Gross Income Climbs to 1.6 Billion USD in First Half of 2025

Addis Ababa, September 5, 2025 (ENA) -- The African Export-Import Bank Group (Afreximbank) has released its consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2025, revealing a period of significant growth and resilience despite a challenging global economic climate.

The bank's performance, which surpassed that of the previous year, highlights its strengthened financial position and unwavering commitment to its mandate across Africa and the Caribbean

Afreximbank/Group has released its consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (H1’2025).

Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, persistent inflationary pressures, currency volatility, and tighter global financing conditions, the Afreximbank Group delivered, once again, satisfactory results for the first half of the year.

This performance, which surpassed that of the 2024 comparative period, reflected higher net income, a robust liquidity position, and strengthened capital buffers, positioning the Group to better fulfil its mandate across its member states in Africa and the Caribbean Community.

Gross income grew by 2.04% over the comparative period, reaching 1.6 billion USD for the H1’2025. Net interest income stood at 835.9 million USD, representing a 1.17% increase over the prior period.

This modest growth was achieved despite the decline in global benchmark rates, largely reflecting the Group’s efficient management of funding costs.

Gross fee and commission income arising from unfunded activities, including issuance of guarantees, letters of credit (contingent liabilities) and provision of advisory services amounted to 61.9 million USD.

Afreximbank’s on-balance sheet and contingent items closed H1’2025 at 42.5 billion USD, representing a growth of 6.0% over the position as at 31 December 2025 (FY’2024). Loans and advances (the portfolio) stood at 27.7 billion USD (FY’2024: US$29.0 billion), according to APA News.

Denys Denya, Afreximbank’s Senior Executive Vice President, commented that Afreximbank Group continued to support member states with innovative financial solutions, leveraging on a robust capital base, access to capital markets as reflected in the healthy liquidity position and Management’s excellent knowledge of the African and Caribbean markets.
