Overview
With a total authorized capital of USD 20 billion, including USD 10 billion subscribed and USD 5 billion paid-in capital, the Bank enjoys a strong shareholders’ support, an outstanding financial strength and a remarkable governance, since it operates exclusively in non-shareholder Sub-Saharan African countries.
These favourable factors have led several major international credit agencies to provide excellent credit scores to BADEA. The Bank received its historical “AAA / stable outlook” credit rating by the Japan Credit Rating Agency in August 2023. The Bank also received inaugural strong credit ratings from “Aa2 / positive outlook” by Moody’s and “AA / stable outlook” by S&P Global in 2022.
