Kenya’s construction market is valued at $20 billion, and the sector grew 6.8% in 2025. Growth at that scale is also a material flow.

Join our CEO, @miguelpeters_ , at the #Big5Construct Kenya as he speaks about the opportunities of circular construction in Kenya.

Kenya’s construction market is valued at approximately $20 billion and growing at around 7.5% annually.

That growth drives a steady flow of materials, cement, steel, timber and other resources: https://t.co/D1lx8q4Ovx

Lagos got less rain in H1 2026 than its long-term average, and worse flooding.

That gap is the point: floods aren't a weather event; they're a systems failure.

Only 1% to 1.3% of imported second-hand clothing is actual waste. But 60,000+ tonnes of used electronics enter Nigeria through Lagos ports every year, and 15,700 tonnes of that arrive already damaged.

Two very different stories. One question: when does second-hand become waste?

“We are not asking to be judged kindly. We are asking to be judged accurately.”

Speaking at the Alamein Africa Forum 2026 in Egypt, Afreximbank President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. @GeorgeElombi , called for credit assessments that reflect the Bank’s financial strength, sustained shareholder support and record of supporting African economies through crises.

He urged African governments to continue capitalising their institutions, honour their treaty commitments and defend Africa’s right to direct its own development.

That responsibility extends to building a financial system that mobilises African savings to finance African trade, businesses and infrastructure at the scale the continent needs.

As global trade dynamics continue to shift, Africa faces a defining moment. Rising protectionism, evolving geopolitical alliances, and increasing market fragmentation are reshaping traditional trade relationships, creating both challenges and opportunities for the continent.

Speaking during the Invest Africa - Africa Debate Session on Navigating a New Trade Paradigm, Mr. Haytham El Maayergi, Executive Vice President, Global Trade Bank at Afreximbank, highlighted the importance of accelerating industrialisation, expanding value-added production, and deepening intra-African trade as the continent adapts to a rapidly evolving global trade landscape.

As traditional trade patterns shift and global markets become increasingly fragmented, Africa has an opportunity to strengthen regional value chains, attract investment, and unlock the full potential of the AfCFTA.

The conversation underscored the importance of strategic partnerships, trade-enabling infrastructure, and long-term investment in building a more resilient, competitive, and globally connected African economy.

With Africa's trade reaching US$1.5 trillion in 2024, the focus must now be on translating opportunity into action and ensuring the continent captures greater value from its resources, industries, and growing markets.

Progress under the AfCFTA is measured not only by commitments made, but by implementation on the ground.

Experts are meeting this week in Lilongwe to assess Malawi’s implementation of the AfCFTA Protocol on Trade in Goods under AFIRM. The review will identify implementation gaps, validate progress, and support reforms that improve the business environment and strengthen intra-African trade.
