Afreximbank to play a part in the fifth iteration of South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2022

In a unique high-level panel discussion with the Trade and Development Bank, regional banks, and pan-African organisations, including invitees Stanbic and the African Development Bank, Afreximbank will lead commercial discussions during the fifth iteration of South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2022.

Organizations like the Afreximbank have significantly advanced the development of oil and gas projects all over the continent.

By supporting the growth of South Sudan’s petroleum assets through participation, Afreximbank demonstrates its commitment to the country’s energy industry and demonstrates its continued and expanding interest in the market.

Rene Awambeng, Global Head of Client Relations, will represent the bank at the highest level and speak on stage at the event as well as meet with officials from both the public and private sectors.

The Ministry of Petroleum’s efforts to make South Sudan a centre for regional energy services, exploration, and exports are validated by Mr. Awambeng’s attendance at this year’s event, according to James Chester, Senior Director, Energy Capital & Power (ECP).

He also notes that “SSOP 2022 has developed a strong foundation over the last five years for tackling questions on how to finance South Sudan’s energy sector and growth.”

The South Sudanese Ministry of Petroleum as well as the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning have backed the event, which is being organised by ECP and taking place September 13–14, 2022.

It serves as the official national energy conference and gathering place for the area’s power, gas, and oil sectors.
