HASSATOU N’SELE


VICE PRESIDENT FOR FINANCE AND CFO, AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP

The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has pioneered a new asset to scale up
climate finance without burdening cash-strapped governments. Under the
leadership of Chief Financial Officer Hassatou N’Sele, the AfDB introduced a
$750 million "hybrid" bond in January, the first ever issued by a development
bank. Unlike regular bonds, hybrid bonds offer investors higher returns but come
with slightly more risk, as they would be repaid after other debts if the bank
faced financial difficulties. Notably, the hybrid bond does not confer
shareholder voting rights, enabling development banks to maintain their mission
and operational structure.

“Africa is one of the continents that is most affected by climate change and the
least equipped to face climate shocks,” N’Sele tells TIME. “Sadly, less than 3%
of our countries are able to access climate funds. This is one of the reasons
why we decided to scale up our climate financing.” 



Despite initial skepticism regarding market interest in such bonds, the
initiative was oversubscribed at $6 billion. “We proved that it works, that it
is a viable instrument for multilateral development banks going forward,” she
says. 

Other development banks are expected to follow suit with hybrid bonds of their
own. “Everyone was looking closely at what AfDB was doing,” Benjamin De Forton,
who is in charge of the debt capital markets desk at BNP Paribas in Paris, one
of the note’s arrangers, told Bloomberg. “AfDB clearly demonstrated that there
is a viable trade at a very interesting price.”
