I’m pleased to share that under a new agreement, Citi will provide IFC - International Finance Corporation with access to $65 million equivalent Kenyan shillings to expand digital infrastructure in Kenya. As we see rising currency volatility and debt distress, the need for local currency financing grows even more important. Thanks to our partnership with Citi, IFC can expand its ability to source local currency financing and deliver solutions that protect our clients from currency fluctuations. This collaboration marks a big stride in tackling currency challenges and debt distress in emerging markets, with potential to inspire similar efforts across Africa and elsewhere.
