SOUTH SUDAN Multinational Development Finance Institutions (ATI) and Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TBD)

The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has approved this US $18.15 million facility to the Government of South Sudan (GRSS), to assist the country with the required resources for its African Trade Insurance (ATI) and Trade & Development Bank (TDB) (formerly known as PTA Bank) membership application. This is a critical step and a prerequisite for the respective institutions to commence their operations within South Sudan. The approved facility complements other AfDB’s ongoing and planned interventions geared towards building institutions and improving resilience and livelihoods for the South Sudan population by addressing not only the humanitarian crisis and strengthening institutional capacity but also facilitating private sector investments in a fragile environment.
