The African Export-Import Bank, known as Afreximbank, recorded net income of $534.7 million in the first half, representing a 30% increase, according to a report published by BusinessDay Nigeria on 24 August 2026.
The report linked the stronger earnings to higher lending. It did not, however, disclose the value of the bank’s loan portfolio, the amount by which lending increased or the contribution of lending income to the overall result.
The rise in net income indicates a stronger earnings performance for Afreximbank during the period covered. Based on the limited figures available, it is not yet possible to determine whether other factors, including costs or additional income streams, also affected the result.
Further financial details would be needed to assess where the bank expanded lending and whether the additional financing was concentrated in particular countries, industries or trade programmes. The available evidence also does not provide figures for assets, revenue, operating expenses or capital.
