Africa Investment Forum 2025 Draws $15.3 Billion Interest for 39 Bankable Projects in Rabat

The Africa Investment Forum (AIF) 2025 generated $15.3 billion in investor interest for 39 bankable projects during the Market Days held in Rabat, confirming the platform’s position as the leading African marketplace for investment-ready opportunities.

According to the President of the African Development Bank Group, Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, the projects presented in the boardrooms received a positive response from investors, supported by robust social and environmental impact studies and well-structured financial models. About two-thirds of the transactions targeted the energy and transport sectors, considered key to the development of Africa’s infrastructure.

Dr. Ould Tah announced the introduction of an annual dashboard to monitor project progress and track the conversion of investor interest into actual investments, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in the implementation of projects presented on the platform.

The event, held from November 26 to 28, 2025, brought together over 2,000 participants from roughly 80 countries, including private investors, multilateral financial institutions, companies, and government representatives. The theme of this edition, “Bridging the Gap: Mobilizing Private Capital to Unlock Africa’s Full Potential,” guided discussions on structuring bankable projects and mobilizing private financing to support the continent’s economic growth.

Since its creation in 2018 by the African Development Bank and its partners, the AIF has established itself as a crucial platform connecting international investors with African project developers, accelerating the closure of financial deals and promoting high-impact investments across the continent.
