Key facts

The African Union launched its own credit rating agency, AfCRA, in Mauritius. This initiative aims to provide a rating agency for African sovereigns, sub-sovereigns, and institutions. The move is intended to counter what some view as unfair assessments by international agencies that inflate borrowing costs for African nations.
