Abu Dhabi Exports Office signs deal to boost UAE exports to West Africa – The National

The Abu Dhabi Exports Office (Adex), the export-financing arm of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, has signed a trade finance agreement with the Ecowas Bank for Investment and Development (EBID) to bolster trade between the UAE and the lender’s member states in West Africa.

Under the agreement, a line of credit of $20 million will be opened between the two entities, leading to an increase in the volume of trade between the UAE and Ecowas member states, the entities said in a joint statement on Tuesday.

Adex also aims to establish additional credit lines and boost joint financing to promote Emirati exports in the African market.
