I think Ghanaians were too harsh on him after the last international break.
He played well tonight, and I hope he continues to improve in the team.

Large institutions should not focus on financing individual small enterprises directly. Their role should be to empower local financial intermediaries that can efficiently reach thousands of businesses. Africa’s financial architecture must function as an ecosystem where international institutions, regional development banks, commercial banks, pension funds, and local investors work together #afdbam2026

[IN CONVERSATION] Africa is drawing increased global investor interest, with the World Bank Group’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency targeting 6.4 billion dollars in guarantees across the continent by 2030. Speaking to CNBC Africa, Junaid Ahmad says MIGA’s guarantees are helping reduce investor risk and unlock private funding for infrastructure, trade, and business growth across Africa.
He adds that investor interest is becoming more diversified despite ongoing global uncertainty.

💰 Africa is sitting on between 380 and 400 billion dollars of insurance assets under management. The capital exists. The infrastructure to channel it into the continent's own development does not.
That gap framed the intervention of Dr @Rubangutsangabo, Group Managing Director and CEO of AfricaRe, the largest pan-African reinsurance company, speaking on the finance panel at the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali.
📊 Look beneath the headline figure and the imbalance is staggering. Seventy per cent of those assets sit in South Africa alone, where insurance penetration reaches 60% of GDP. Across the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, that ratio falls to roughly 1%. And within the South African pool, 70% is life insurance, exactly the long-duration capital whose cash flow profile is built to match infrastructure tenors. The continent already has the right kind of money. It is concentrated in the wrong place, and almost nowhere is it being deployed where it is most needed.
⚙️ The mirror inside the industry is just as telling. Across the rest of the continent, allocation to infrastructure sits near zero. Karekezi made the point with disarming honesty by pointing to his own balance sheet. Africa Re manages around 2.4 billion dollars in assets, and the infrastructure line item is zero. The constraint is not appetite. It is architecture. Insurance regulators impose capital charges and liquidity requirements that make long-term infrastructure exposure punishingly expensive on the books.
🏛️ The unlock is therefore regulatory and continental. Karekezi pointed to the work under way with the African Development Bank on the Abidjan Consensus and the New African Financial Architecture for development, with a clear target. Bring African insurance regulators around one table, agree a common allocation of up to 2% of assets to regional infrastructure projects, and the continent suddenly has billions of dollars of patient African capital ready to champion African megaprojects.
