非洲：非洲能源银行在阿布贾正式设立 法定资本50亿美元首任行长就任
非洲进出口银行（Afreximbank）与非洲石油生产国组织（APPO）10月31日宣布，非洲能源银行（AEB）已正式设立，以应对非洲大陆日益增长的能源融资需求。宣布于周六在尼日利亚首都阿布贾举行的非洲能源银行首届大会上作出。
新银行的法定资本为50亿美元，将为能源全价值链的项目融资，包括勘探与生产、运输、加工、炼化与分销。非洲的能源投资需求估计达2000亿美元，而传统能源融资提供方正越来越多地撤出对化石燃料项目的资金，尽管石油与天然气对非洲能源体系仍然重要。非洲能源银行意在弥合这一融资缺口，同时支持符合非洲国家需要的公正能源转型。
该行将作为一家独立的、超国家的泛非洲金融机构运营，动员来自各国政府、国家石油公司、金融机构与私人投资者的投资，目标是加强非洲的生产能力、减少对进口成品油的依赖、促进非洲内部的能源产品贸易，并提高非洲人对本大陆能源部门的参与。
首届大会通过的决议包括任命首任行长 Helmy Ghazi 并组建首届董事会，董事会成员来自全非洲的公共与私营部门以及主要政策机构。此前 APPO 方面曾表示，非洲能源银行计划在2027年初开始为天然气项目融资。
Africa: Africa Energy Bank Formally Established in Abuja With $5 Billion Authorised Capital and First President Appointed
The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the African Petroleum Producers' Organisation (APPO) announced on November 2 that the Africa Energy Bank (AEB) has been formally established to help address the continent's growing energy financing needs. The announcement was made on Sunday during the bank's inaugural general meeting held in Abuja, Nigeria.
With authorised capital of $5 billion, the bank will finance projects across the energy value chain, including exploration and production, transportation, processing, refining and distribution. Africa's energy investment needs are estimated at $200 billion, while traditional providers of financing to the continent's energy sector are increasingly withdrawing funding from fossil fuel projects, even as oil and gas remain important to Africa's energy systems. The AEB is expected to help bridge this financing gap while supporting a just energy transition tailored to the needs of African countries.
The bank will operate as an independent, supranational, pan-African financial institution, mobilising investment from governments, national oil companies, financial institutions and private investors. Its investments are expected to strengthen Africa's productive capacity, reduce reliance on imported petroleum products, promote intra-African trade in energy goods, and promote greater African participation in the continent's energy sector, so that Africa's energy future is shaped and financed by Africans.
Resolutions adopted at the inaugural general meeting included the appointment of the bank's first president, Helmy Ghazi, and the formation of its first Board of Directors, comprising representatives from the public and private sectors and leading policy institutions from across Africa. APPO officials had previously said the Africa Energy Bank planned to begin financing gas projects in early 2027.
