总部位于肯尼亚的英国资助发展机构FSD Africa计划到本世纪末释放100亿英镑(133亿美元),以支持整个非洲大陆的资本市场、基础设施和发展项目。

Africa, a UK-funded development agency headquartered in Kenya, plans to unlock £10 billion ($13.3 billion) through the end of the decade to support capital markets, infrastructure and development projects across the continent.

首席金融市场官埃文斯·奥萨诺在一次采访中表示,高达85%的资金将以当地货币提供,“反映了对深化国内资本市场的重视”。

Up to 85% of the funds are targeted in local currency, “reflecting the emphasis on deepening domestic capital markets,” Chief Financial Markets Officer Evans Osano said in an interview.

FSD Africa与该地区30个国家的政府、监管机构和金融机构合作,以加强市场并动员支持增长、气候和清洁能源转型的资金。

FSD Africa works with governments, regulators and financial institutions across 30 countries in the region to strengthen markets and mobilize funds supporting growth, climate and the clean-energy transition.

它为尼日利亚本月启动的10年资本市场总体规划提供了技术支持,该规划的目标包括将资本市场中的年度侨民投资增加一倍多至100亿美元。

It provided technical support for Nigeria’s 10-year capital-market master plan launched this month, whose objectives include more than doubling annual diaspora investment in the capital markets to $10 billion.

由于宏观经济和机构薄弱、货币波动以及可银行融资项目短缺等因素,非洲在吸引资本方面面临重大挑战。

Africa faces significant challenges in attracting capital because of factors including weak macroeconomies and institutions, currency volatility and a shortage of bankable projects.

为了帮助解决这些限制,FSD已成立一个“催化交易团队”,与发行人和市场中介合作,创建可用于大规模动员资本的工具和产品,奥萨诺表示。

To help address those constraints, FSD has created a “catalytic transaction team” to work with issuers and market intermediaries to create vehicles and instruments that can be used to mobilize capital at scale, Osano said.

奥萨诺表示,截至6月,该机构已在100亿英镑的目标中释放了15.2亿英镑。

The agency has already unlocked £1.52 billion out of the £10 billion target as of June, Osano said.

他说:“资金正在部署到农业和农业科技、清洁能源、住房、中小企业、基础设施和水资源、自然、保险和风险等各个领域。”

“The fund is being deployed to various sectors such as agriculture and agritech, clean energy, housing, SMEs, infrastructure and water, nature, insurance and risk,” he said.

奥萨诺表示,FSD Africa正瞄准养老基金、主权财富基金、提供信用担保的商业贷款机构、私募股权和风险投资公司,以实现其目标。

FSD Africa is targeting pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, commercial lenders providing credit guarantees, private equity and venture-capital firms to meet its goal, Osano said.

奥萨诺表示,在尼日利亚,该机构正在支持两家发行人发行性别债券——其所得资金用于资助推动平等和妇女经济赋权的项目——以及两个次国家层面实体发行债务,此前该机构曾帮助拉各斯州发行绿色债券。

In Nigeria, the agency is supporting two issuers to raise gender bonds — whose proceeds finance projects advancing equality and women’s economic empowerment — as well as two sub-nationals to raise debt, after helping Lagos State issue green bond, Osano said.

“我们还在几个地区开展若干只上市中小企业基金的工作,”他说。

“We are also working on a number of listed SME funds in a few geographies,” he said.
