In its 2026 Credit Rating Report for the Bank, released in Beijing on 30 July, CCXI said it expects the Bank\u2019s credit rating to remain stable in the next 12 to 18 months.
The report affirmed Afreximbank\u2019s \u201cadvantages, including high strategic positioning, sound risk management system, flexible business development, strong profitability, prudent liquidity management and a very high coverage ratio of current assets to short-term debts,\u201d saying that these strengths \u201cstrongly supported the overall credit strength of the Bank\u201d.
Commenting on the rating, Mr. Chandi Mwenebungu, Managing Director, Treasury & Markets and Treasurer said:
\u201cCCXI\u2019s affirmation of our AAA rating for a second consecutive year is a strong endorsement of Afreximbank\u2019s financial strength, disciplined risk management and enduring relevance to Africa and Global Africa. It demonstrates our ability to deliver on our mandate, support our member states through periods of uncertainty and mobilise capital from the breadth and depth of diverse funding pools across local and global markets, while maintaining the financial resilience and institutional strength expected of a leading multilateral development bank.\u201d
The rating also reinforces Afreximbank\u2019s access to diversified funding sources, particularly in China, while enhancing the Bank\u2019s growing footprint, profile and market presence in one of the world\u2019s largest and most important capital markets. In 2025, the Bank issued its inaugural RMB2.2 billion Panda bond, becoming the first African multilateral development institution to access the Panda bond market, and subsequently became a direct participant in China\u2019s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), further strengthening its role in facilitating China-Africa trade and investment flows and partnerships.
The CCXI affirmation follows S&P Global Ratings\u2019 assignment earlier this year of \u2018BBB+\u2019 long-term and \u2018A-2\u2019 short-term issuer credit ratings to Afreximbank, with a Stable outlook. Afreximbank also holds investment-grade ratings from GCR (A), Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) (A-) and Moody\u2019s (Baa2).
