Trade Credit Insurance (TCI) in Africa is often seen as a long-term ambition – but what if building a robust local market for it was easier than you think?
Our new whitepaper, “Focus on Africa: Kickstarting Trade Credit Insurance is easier than you think”, released in partnership with Tinubu and co-authored by Richard Wulff (ICISA), Fanny Beaumont (Tinubu), and Benjamin Le Forestier (Tinubu), challenges common misconceptions about TCI in emerging markets and lays out a practical roadmap for action.
As Africa strengthens its regional trade ties and global supply chains shift, the demand for safe, reliable credit is growing. Yet most of the continent remains underserved when it comes to protecting trade receivables. Outside of South Africa, credit insurance penetration remains extremely low—leaving suppliers, banks, and economies exposed to payment risks that limit growth.
This whitepaper explores:
-
Why now is the right time to scale credit insurance across Africa
-
The vital role of institutions like Afreximbank and the World Bank in building capacity
-
Simple, actionable steps to help launch TCI locally.
This is a call to seize a growing opportunity. With the right partnerships, launching trade credit insurance in Africa is not only feasible—it’s urgently needed.
