“ATIDI provides a valuable tool for governments because its insurance is well-rated security. ATIDI’s insurance, strong international financial network, and investment-grade credit ratings have helped African governments create more sustainability within their economies. I’m also confident that the benefits of Ghana’s membership into this important institution will extend well beyond the government as many sectors stand to gain from increased access to ATIDI’s credit and investment insurance facilities.”

“Ghana’s energy sector will receive a boost of confidence with ATIDI’s entry into the market. My Ministry is strongly looking at signing onto ATIDI’s Regional Liquidity Support Facility (RLSF).

The Facility will help Ghana mitigate against climate change by helping to make our energy mix greener, and this will ultimately benefit the environment by supporting our strategy of reducing the sources contributing to climate change.”
