Infrastructure is African bank’s priority.

THE African Development Bank (AfDB) estimated it would finance up to ZAR10bn in infrastructure projects in the next three years, with the energy sector central to this, a bank official said yesterday.

Research by the World Bank- aligned Infrastructure Consortium for Africa last year showed sub-Saharan Africa needed to double its infrastructure spending to 93bn a year to upgrade roads, water and power networks. Poor infrastructure has been a great impediment to economic growth in the world’s poorest continent.
