Day one of the 31st African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) Annual Meetings (AAM) took place in Nassau, The Bahamas.

The event aimed to strengthen the ties between Africa and the Caribbean, and was attended by over two thousand delegates, including regional heads of state, ministers, government officials, and industry leaders.

During the event, Mr. John Rolle, Governor of the Central Bank of The Bahamas, highlighted the potential benefits of the Pan African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) for the Caribbean and encouraged collaboration with Afreximbank to replicate this system.

The event also included the 3rd AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF), emphasizing the growing connections between Africa and the Caribbean.

Ms. Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, discussed the significant trade potential between Africa and the Caribbean and proposed exploring the establishment of a free trade area between the two regions.
