NEXI Japan, new shareholder of the Agency for Trade Insurance in Africa

Japan's Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) has become a shareholder in the African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI).

With a capital contribution of 14.8 million USD, this operation has further strengthened the partnership between ATI and NEXI. The latter aims at promoting Japanese trade and foreign direct investment in Africa.

In 2019, the two organizations (ATI and NEXI) created "Japan Desk", a one-stop shop within the ATI office in Nairobi (Kenya), which provides Japanese companies with risk mitigation solutions proposed by the African agency.
