This partnership between</span><a href="http://www.orange.com/" style="font-size: x-large;"> Orange</a><span style="font-size: large;"> and Airtel enables Orange customers, for the first time, to send and receive money to or from people based in a country outside the Group’s footprint. In addition, thanks to the interconnection between the two operators’ mobile money platforms, it is also the first time that people living in Burkina Faso will be able to send money to contacts in Côte d’Ivoire using their mobile phones.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">This partnership builds on the existing “Orange Money International Transfer” offer, which enables Orange Money customers based in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali to carry out cross-border money transfers. Since its introduction in July 2013, the service has been a considerable success with over 200,000 users to date.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“Following the successful launch of Orange Money International Transfer between Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali, we want to develop new ways to allow our customers to send and receive money between countries in the West African Economic and Monetary Union.

The customer simply connects to his or her Orange Money account on their mobile phone, and enters the recipient’s number and the amount to be sent. Funds are then immediately available in the mobile wallet of the beneficiary, who can then pay bills, purchase goods or make transfers from wherever they are, or make a withdrawal at any nearby Orange Money distribution point. The same applies to Airtel customers based in Burkina Faso using their own mobile wallets.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Orange.</span></div> </div>

Our relatively recent GMEA set up offers closer proximity to our customers and enables us to develop a better understanding of the culture and the trends of the markets in which we operate."</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In 2013, Sidel established the Greater Middle East and Africa (GMEA) Zone with its headquarters in Dubai, UAE, and supporting offices including in Johannesburg.

The award winners are nominated and voted for by the worldwide readers of STAT TIMES, the dedicated trade publication for the global aviation and air cargo industries. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Charles Brewer, Managing Director for DHL Express Sub-Sahara Africa, says that this award highlights the power of their extensive network on the continent. “DHL Express is the only logistics company in Africa with a dedicated air network, and our continued investment in the continent over the last 37 years has enabled us to achieve a 95% on time delivery rate. We service over 16 000 active customers across the African continent, in addition to many thousands of cash customers and transport over 12.5 million shipments per year across the Sub Saharan Africa region.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Brewer says that Africa is not only one of the last, but possibly the biggest frontier for business, and DHL has positioned itself to be an enabler of this growth by aiding companies with effective and reliable service and regional connectivity. “With DHL Express being present in every market and territory across Africa, we connect Africa to the world,” Brewer adds. He points to the International Monetary Fund’s January 2015 World Economic Outlook Projections Update1, which projects Sub-Saharan Africa to grow by 4.9% and 5.2% in 2015 and 2016 respectively.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“Companies are increasingly looking to expand into Africa due to these economic growth projections, and express logistics will play a key role in contributing towards this growth,” says Brewer.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Malcolm Macbeth, Vice President Aviation for DHL Middle East and Africa, says, “DHL Aviation was established in Africa over a decade ago. Our mission is to provide regular, reliable capacity to the markets in Africa that do not enjoy daily passenger and freighter links to the rest of the world. Through one virtual airline, the DHL Aviation network has access to more than 250 dedicated freighter aircraft connecting 22 major Air Hubs worldwide.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“As more and more businesses begin to operate virtual supply chains, the need for reliable and timely logistics solutions becomes more important.

ICD wins multiple accolades at the industry-leading IFN Deals of the Year 2014 Awards

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DjI0XiEqNZY/VPtg1gDOYpI/AAAAAAAAFfc/vVJ_rRDhMdk/s1600/ICD.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DjI0XiEqNZY/VPtg1gDOYpI/AAAAAAAAFfc/vVJ_rRDhMdk/s1600/ICD.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (</span><a href="http://www.icd-idb.com/" style="font-size: x-large;">ICD</a><span style="font-size: large;">) is delighted to announce the achievement of two awards at the industry-leading Islamic Finance news Deal of the Year Awards for 2014. The multilateral agency contributed to both the ‘Africa Deal of the Year’ for its role in the CFA100 billion inaugural sovereign Sukuk from the Republic of Senegal in July; and ‘Cross-border Deal of the Year’ for its landmark US$100 million commodity Murabahah transaction with Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in September.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Senegal transaction, completed on the 18th July 2014 and led by Citi and the ICD as joint lead managers and brokers, represented the first sovereign Sukuk from the republic and was unique in its complex structure via the nation’s securitization regime, which is the only regulation allowing for SPV-issued notes. Despite the significant challenges including a lack of regulation, low awareness among investors and a low appetite for CFA-denominated paper, the transaction was highly successful and proved marketable among both regional and international investors: with strong oversubscription.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In September of 2014, the ICD signed its first ever cash-raising deal with a non-Islamic financial institution: a US$100 million commodity Murabahah with BTMU, Japan’s largest lender. With the proceeds of the deal to be deployed by ICD to finance its development projects in member countries, the transaction was a landmark cross-border deal marking its firm commitment to developing international relationship and encouraging participation in both member and non-member countries. The deal also marked the first financing from BTMU with a multilateral institution, and was groundbreaking across the markets of both institutions.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Taken together, the two awards demonstrate recognition of the valuable role played by ICD in the development of private sector participation in the Islamic capital markets. The dual awards ceremonies, to be held in March in both Dubai and KL, attract the cream of the Islamic finance elite and are generally recognized as one of the biggest events of the Islamic calendar.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Mr Khaled Al-Aboodi, CEO of the ICD, noted that: “The IFN Awards represent some of the highest honors the industry has to offer. As a repeated winner, the ICD is pleased and proud to maintain its pioneering status and high standards, and delighted that the industry continues to recognize our achievements in driving forward international, emerging market and cross-border capital market participation.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD).</span></div> </div>

ndio.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Alisema wabunge wa Bunge
