I welcome the African Union’s announcement that the African Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) will officially launch on October 7. @_AfricanUnion In February, I made the case in the Financial Times for an African credit rating agency. In May, at the Africa CEO Forum @africaceoforum in Kigali, I spoke again about the need for Africa to build financial institutions that understand our economies and can assess our risks properly. AfCRA is another step towards that goal. Africa is not asking for favourable ratings. We are asking for fair ratings, grounded in our fundamentals and in the reforms our economies are actually carrying out. AfCRA must now earn the confidence of global capital. That confidence will rest on its independence and the rigour of its work. I look forward to October 7. Bola Ahmed Tinubu President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
