Aufstockung des Eigenkapitalbetrags Togos an der African Trade Insurance Augmentation de la participation du Togo dans African Trade Insurance Kernproblem:Um eine nachhaltige Entwicklung des Privatsektors in Togo zu erreichen, müssen vor allem Investitionen von in- und ausländischen Investoren steigen. Vielfältige politische und kommerzielle Risiken, gepaart mit einer zunehmenden Risikoaversion (z.T. verursacht durch die Covid-19 Pandemie), führen allerdings zu einer erhöhten Investitionsunsicherheit in Togo. Die African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) stellt bedarfsgerechte Versicherungen gegen politische und kommerzielle Risiken zur Verfügung. ATI ist eine pan-afrikanische Versicherungsagentur für Afrika mit Hauptsitz in Nairobi, die mehrheitlich ihren Mitgliedsländern gehört und von ihnen gemeinschaftlich verwaltet wird. In Togo wird die zukünftige Nachfrage nach Versicherungen von ATI allerdings mangels ausreichender Eigenkapitalhinterlegung Togos bei ATI zeitnah nicht mehr bedient werden können. Darunter leidet insbesondere die Entwicklung von Handel und Investitionen im Privatsektor.Modulziel:Beitrag zur Steigerung von internationalem Handel und in- und ausländischen Investitionen in Togo mit Fokus auf den Privatsektor.Wesentliche Outputs:Erhöhung der Risikotragfähigkeit bei der ATI für zukünftige Absicherungen von Handels- und Investitionstransaktionen in Togo.Zielgruppe:Unmittelbare Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind inländische Unternehmen und sonstige nationale und internationale Wirtschaftsakteure des Privatsektors, (kommerzielle) Banken, Entwicklungsfinanzinstitutionen, Importeure und Exporteure, Projektentwickler etc. Die mittelbare Zielgruppe umfasst lokale Bevölkerung und KKMUs, welche von den Maßnahmen profitieren, die mit den abgesicherten Investitionen zusammenhängen, wie z.B. durch Sicherung und Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen in Togo oder die Erhöhung der Kaufkraft.

Key problem:In order to achieve sustainable private sector development in Togo, investments from domestic and foreign investors in particular have to increase. However, multiple political and commercial risks, coupled with increasing risk aversion (partly caused by the Covid-19 pandemic), lead to increased investment uncertainty in Togo. The African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) provides needs-based insurance against political and commercial risks. ATI is a pan-African insurance agency for Africa, headquartered in Nairobi and majority owned and jointly managed by its member countries. In Togo, however, the future demand for insurance from ATI will not be met in the near future due to Togo's lack of sufficient equity deposit with ATI. The development of trade and investment in the private sector in particular suffers as a result.Objective of the project:To contribute to increasing international trade and domestic and foreign investment in Togo with a focus on the private sector.Key outputs:Increased risk bearing capacity at ATI for future hedging of trade and investment transactions in Togo.Target group:The direct target group of the project are domestic companies and other national and international economic actors in the private sector, (commercial) banks, development finance institutions, importers and exporters, project developers, etc. The indirect target group includes the local population and MSMEs that benefit from the measures related to the secured investments, such as by securing and creating jobs in Togo or increased purchasing power. Contribution to the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda:The project contributes to several goals of the 2030 Agenda (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs). A contribution is made in particular to SDGs 1, 8, 9 and 17. Beitrag zur Steigerung von internationalem Handel und ausländischen Direktinvestitionen in Togo mit Fokus auf den Privatsektor.
