A thread on credit ratings and the African continent, and the ongoing debate about the extent to which Western rating agencies understand or ‘get’ the African context. 

Speaking here is Dr. George Elombi, Executive Vice President,
Governance, Legal & Corporate Services at @afreximbank, at #aam2025 challenging the recent credit rating downgrade by Fitch.
