Presentation by Mr. Carlos Lopes at the 28th Summit of the NEPAD Heads of State and government orientation committee (HSGOC): NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee

Presentation by Mr. Carlos Lopes at the 28th Summit of the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee (HSGOC). Mr. Lopes, on his remarks highlighted that; we would need an Africa Infrastructure Development Fund to supplement investment in national and regional infrastructure projects, particularly the implementation of the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). We should continue to promote the establishment of Africa-based Private Equity Funds. The development of an African Bonds Market is imperative. African bond issues are flourishing in the international bonds market, though relatively new and limited to a few countries. To make Africa's bonds perform better, we need to ensure superior returns, low borrowing costs, appropriate fiscal incentives, and credit guarantee facilities to protect against default.
