ATI is now ATIDI - African Trade & Investment Development Insurance.

Over the past decade, we have adapted in step with the needs of our member states, stakeholders and shareholders to deliver critical risk solutions for investing and doing business in Africa.

ATIDI was founded in 2001 by African States to cover trade and investment risks of companies doing business in Africa. ATI predominantly provides Political Risk, Credit Insurance and, Surety Insurance. Since inception, ATIDI has supported USD78 billion worth of investments and trade into Africa. For over a decade, ATIDI has maintained an ‘A/Stable’ rating for Financial Strength and Counterparty Credit by Standard & Poor’s, and in 2019, ATIDI obtained an A3/Stable rating from Moody’s, which has now been revised to A3/Positive.

We offer two main insurance products that cover political and trade credit risks. Foreign direct investment risks fall under our political risk insurance.
