CABRI's 9th network engagement with public debt managers in Africa was dedicated to : Charting a Path for Africa: Rebuilding Toward Investment-Grade Credit Ratings.

This network engagement aimed to lay a solid foundation for restoring credibility and supporting progress toward achieving credit upgrades to investment-grade status across African economies. Regaining investment-grade ratings is a crucial step in fostering sustainable and inclusive economic growth. A stronger sovereign credit profile signals stability and a commitment to reform, helping to rebuild investor confidence and positioning the continent as a competitive investment destination.

This event offered a valuable opportunity to explore practical pathways, identify essential reforms, and shape strategic interventions that will guide African countries toward better economic resilience. The engagement enabled the achievement of future long-term development goals by ensuring that Africa is better positioned to access affordable financing.
