BII and Deutsche Bank Launch $150 Million Trade Finance Initiative to Unlock Capital in Africa’s Frontier Markets

British International Investment (BII) has announced a $150 million risk-sharing agreement with Deutsche Bank, marking the first collaboration between the UK development finance institution and the German lender.

The initiative is designed to increase the flow of trade finance into some of Africa’s most underserved and higher-risk markets, where access to capital remains limited.
