非洲开发银行行长表示，该行正在与多家金融机构洽谈，旨在发掘约4万亿美元的国内闲置资本，以满足非洲大陆的发展需求。西迪·乌尔德·塔赫称，此举旨在填补每年估计达4000亿美元的发展资金缺口。
The African Development Bank is holding talks with financiers, with the aim of finding ways to mobilize around $4 trillion in untapped domestic capital to fund the continent’s development needs, its president said. Sidi Ould Tah said the goal was to plug a development financing gap estimated to be worth $400 billion a year.
塔赫在伦敦举行的标普新兴市场会议上指出，这家多边金融机构正致力于加强非洲本土养老基金、银行及资本市场之间的协作，通过优化“风险分配”机制来促进本地融资。自去年9月起担任该行行长的塔赫还表示，非洲开发银行将推出一项计划，协助非洲各国提升信用评级能力——因为部分市场的透明度不足导致外界认为其风险较高，进而推高了借贷成本。
Tah told the S&P emerging markets conference in London that the multilateral lender was working to improve coordination between Africa-based pension funds, banks, and capital markets to enable more local financing through better “risk allocation.”Tah, who took the helm of the continent’s largest development lender in September last year, said the AfDB will launch an initiative to help African countries to better prepare for credit ratings because “opacity in some markets creates this notion of high risk, which leads to high cost of borrowing.”
他承诺银行将配合各国政府完善数据体系以提高市场透明度。长期以来，非洲政策制定者一直认为西方机构对风险评估的主导权造成了该地区融资成本的不合理升高。——亚历克西斯·阿夸吉拉姆
