“African Trade Insurance Agency”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The African Trade Insurance Agency, also known as ATI, was established in 2001^[1] by seven COMESA countries and with the technical and financial backing of The World Bank to provide insurance against political and commercial risks in order to attract foreign direct investments into the region. ATI is Africa's only multilateral investment and credit insurer and as of 31 December 2017 it had supported trade and investments into Africa valued at over USD35 billion since inception and for FYE 2017, ATI recorded USD2.4 billion in Gross Exposures and USD242 million in equity ^[2].

History

ATI was created in 2001 to help drive much needed investment insurance capacity to Africa in order to support higher levels of foreign direct investments^[1]. Seven COMESA countries obtained a grant from the World Bank to conduct a study to look at factors contributing the low levels of FDI to their countries. The study revealed Political Risk to be the main constraint and the primary concern of prospective investors. The study expanded into a World Bank project (The Regional Trade Facilitation Project I)^[3] from which the African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) was created. ATI launched in 2001 in Kampala, Uganda ^[4] and opened its doors in Nairobi, Kenya, ATI's head office.

Shareholders / Members

ATI has 14 member countries and 9 other corporate shareholders including UK Export Finance (UKEF), [https://www.sace.it/en SACE,] , the African Development Bank, Trade Development Bank and Atradius^[5] and India became the first non-African member country to become a shareholder through its government-backed export credit agency, ECGC^[6]
