    AfDB eyes investments in Brazil, China, India

    The African Development Bank will “reinvent” itself over the next two months, diversifying funding sources and setting a new investment strategy for the coming decade.

    By Jennifer Brookland // 27 June 2012

    The African Development Bank will “reinvent” itself over the next two months, diversifying funding sources and setting a new investment strategy for the coming decade.

    A new approach is necessary given the global economic downturn and overall risk aversion on the part of investors, bank strategy director Kapil Kapoor told Reuters. He said the bank’s current holdings are — at best — a fifth of what it needs to achieve its goals.

    AfDB has recently formed a partnership with the Brazilian Development Bank to source and finance clean energy and infrastructure projects in Africa. It will also look to invest in new markets such as China and India.
