“We did promise to come back and give you conclusive key indicators after doing the necessary audits. In terms of participants of attendance both in-person/virtual, we ended up with 28,282. In terms of the number of exhibitors, I think we had announced 1,615 at the close of the trade fair but following our audit, it was 1,939. we had actually targeted 1,600,” she disclosed.

She however described the IATF2023 as a huge platform to access finance, saying “We were aware that the contracts that were being negotiated had to be financed in one form or the other.”

Speaking on Afreximbank’s effort in boosting intra-African trade, Awani said, “As Afreximbank, we ensured that financial institutions and non-banking financial institutions were part of the trade fair to provide the necessary financing and expand access to finance on the continent. The IATF is not just a platform to grow intra-African trade but a platform for banks to grow access to finance.”
