CEIF, a significant event for the Central African region, will focus on the crucial role of hydrocarbons in driving energy security and economic growth. The forum will bring together international investors, local stakeholders, and key industry players to explore investment opportunities in the country’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
Ibrahim’s participation underscores the growing importance of the Republic of Congo as a key oil and gas producer in Africa. His presence at CEIF will provide a platform for APPO to showcase its key initiatives, including the African Energy Bank.
With an initial capital of $5 billion and contributions from member states totaling $83 million, the African Energy Bank aims to bridge the financing gap for oil and gas projects across the continent. The bank’s launch coincides with Congo’s upcoming licensing round, offering new opportunities for oil and gas exploration.
“APPO initiatives, such as the African Energy Bank, provide the necessary tools to accelerate hydrocarbon development, attract investment, and enable countries like the Republic of Congo to achieve energy independence,” said James Chester, head of Energy Capital & Power.
CEIF 2025 will provide a valuable platform for participants to explore investment opportunities in Congo’s energy sector, including gas-to-power projects and ongoing energy expansion initiatives.
