APEX TDF
Established in 2018, Apex Trade, Development & Finance (Apex
TDF) is the expansion arm of UAE-based Apex Africa and an influential
catalyst for the improvement and sustainability of intra-
African trade. With foundations firmly placed on the ground in
Egypt, Apex TDF’s strategy is to bolster this through strengthening
ties between African countries, specifically heavy exportimport
(EXIM) nations such as Egypt. The result is expected to
be long-term collaborations that sustain a powerful African
economy. The company relies on its highly competent and experienced
team members, who have successfully closed over USD
2 billion worth of deals in Africa throughout their combined 15
years of experience.
Many African nations lack financing and basic banking services
for loans, credits and long-term payments, hindering trade within
the continent. There is also an abundance of high-quality products,
but no relevant know-how of the continent, effective systems
of delivery across borders, or correct trade and EXIM practices.
Apex TDF set down roots in Egypt in 2018 to bridge these gaps
by providing a number of long and short-term financial solutions
and packages, as well as a variety of products and services. The
company connects stakeholders with clients, supports importers
in opening and managing lines of credit, and assists banks in
retrieving and supervising assets in a number of key industries,
such as power, health, transportation, agriculture, and infrastructure.
It also acts as an advisor and consultant to its partners by
monitoring market shifts and events and providing personalized
advice accordingly.Many African nations lack financing and basic banking services

Apex TDF collaborates with a vast range of financial institutions
including EXIM banks, commercial banks, development banks,
credit insurers, export credit agencies, and agents in each country
it operates in. Its highly competent business development
team is diligent in discovering opportunities, conducting research
and coordinating with stakeholders.
While primarily working with the public sector, the company has
branched out significantly since its founding and has begun working
with the private sector to make sure adequate services are available
throughout its footprint. All ongoing projects and investments organically
feed the development of various integral sectors, such as
education, health and youth well-being. Through Apex TDF’s projects,
employment rates are rising, healthcare is improving, economic
activity is booming, and countries are developing. The company is
gradually positioning itself as a strategic partner of choice for all African
countries looking for steady growth and sustainable futures.

Our Strategy
Intra-African trade has vast potential for improvement. In 2017,
it accounted for 17% of African nations’ exports, compared to
Asia’s 59% and Europe’s 69%. Apex TDF believes that an intracontinental
EXIM boost can reshape Africa’s economic future.
The company’s unique positioning in Egypt supports its efforts
in facilitating trade negotiations, fosters its growth and expansion,
and provides it with the opportunity to liaise between more
countries and secure more intracontinental deals.
Apex TDF’s strategy evolves from its on-the-ground know-how,
which fills gaps using thorough research and analysis that pave
the way for the continent’s growth. It tailors its financing services
according to each targeted African nation by closely observing
economic potentials, political stability, cash flow and the possible
guarantees that the country could offer. It then coordinates with
manufacturers and exporters of high-quality products, which
are then supplied to the importing African government or company.
For this process to take place in countries where banking
systems provide minimal services to importers, Apex TDF works
on the financial engineering and structuring of EXIM deals. This
allows a smooth flow of goods, services and construction work
across the sectors it operates in. Positive end-results are attained
swiftly and effectively as the firm works to ensure projects are
feasible on commercial, technical and financial levels.
Apex TDF aligns its business strategy with numerous overarching
and comprehensive frameworks and key institutions, seeking to
bolster the standing of the African continent. The company works
in alignment with Afreximbank’s mission to develop African trade
and seeks to create strategies and build processes in line with the
African Union Agenda 2063’s vision of an integrated, prosperous
and peaceful Africa. Some of the agenda goals include the establishment
of “continental, financial and monetary institutions”, an
“Africa that takes full responsibility for financing her development”,
and an Africa with “transformed economies” — all planks that are
part and parcel of the firm’s strategy.
Another important engagement embedded in the company’s
strategy is the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (Af-
CFTA), which commits countries to removing tariffs on 90% of its
goods, among other terms. The successful implementation of this
agreement could produce over a billion consumers and an African
GDP of over USD 3 trillion. Not only will this result in a solid boom in
African trade, but it would also make the continent the largest free
trade area in the world. These goals and endeavors are key to the
progress of Africa and are the lynchpins of the goals Apex TDF has
set for itself as a business.
