Main Story
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has landed in Abuja, Nigeria, as Kenya’s representative at the 2025 Afreximbank Annual Meetings. The high-level event gathers African heads of state, finance ministers, and business leaders with a common goal: reshaping the continent’s financial future through strategic unity.
This year’s discussions center on how African nations can pool resources, harmonize policies, and create homegrown financial solutions that empower intra-African trade and reduce dependence on external economies. From banking innovations to regional payment systems, the summit seeks to anchor a self-reliant economic model across the continent.
Speaking on behalf of President Ruto, Mudavadi reiterated Kenya’s dedication to supporting frameworks that enhance continental economic integration. He stressed the urgency of empowering African institutions and developing cross-border financial systems that can serve the needs of both large economies and grassroots entrepreneurs.
With global economic instability threatening emerging markets, African leaders at the Afreximbank forum are looking inward for stability. The summit also addresses debt sustainability, digital currency adoption, and trade facilitation — themes that align with Kenya’s broader vision for a tech-forward, resilient economy.
Africa’s future may be written in numbers — but its strength lies in unity.
