sance conomique durable travers lAfrique.

The private sector development is an engine of sus-
tainable and inclusive economic growth. A the frst
fnancial development institution in the continent, the
AfDB identifes private sector development as one of
its fundamental areas of focus : to reduce poverty and
support sustainable growth in Africa.
The Regional Investment Center of Greater Casa-
blanca Region (Casa Invest): the One Stop Shop for
your investments and companies setting up at Casa-
blanca from where, you can expand your business to
the African market.
The objective of the African Guarantee Fund is to
contribute in putting African economies on a long
term path of sustainable growth, in order to create
stable jobs, especially for young Africans and signif-
cantly reduce poverty in our continent. This objective
cannot be reached without the commitment of a
dynamic private sector, which comprises mainly of the
SMEs and SMIs
SMEs represent a critical component in ensuring the
success of the drive to achieve sustainable economic
growth across Africa. Afreximbank, working with our
trade fnance intermediaries, is committed to providing
Africas SMEs with the fnancing to help make the conti-
nent a competitive trade and economic destination.

head offces of SME a permanent platform specialized
in meetings and exchanges, in order to establish business
agreements,commercial, technological and fnancial
alliances, so as to help african SME in their research of
potential partners and new markets.
Les PME reprsentent le plus grand vivier demplois pour lAfrique mais seulement 20% dentre elles ont accs au crdit bancaire
(faiblesse des garanties, fonds propres insuffsants). Africa SMB Forum fournit aux patrons des PME africaines un cadre unique
dchanges avec leurs pairs du continent et du monde entier, ainsi quune plateforme de conseils et de fnancements.
The SMEs represent the most important source of employments in Africa, but only 20% of them are allowed to access to banking credit
(weakness of guarantees, lack of capitals). Africa SMB Forum provides frican Entrepreneurs a perfect place to exchange with others CEO
from the continent and from worldwilde, with a potential access to advices and fnancial supports.
