Afreximbank introduces policy research paper series
African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has introduced the Afreximbank Policy Research Working Paper Series (APRWPS). Consequently, the bank is inviting authors to submit their manuscripts for publication.
This is disclosed in a statement signed by Vincent Musumba, spokesman for Afreximbank, on Thursday.
Mr Musumba said APRWPS would provide a platform for Afreximbank staff, academics, scholars, institutions and practitioners to share preliminary research findings on African trade, trade finance and development topics.
He said it would serve as a knowledge repository for stakeholders to exchange ideas and address knowledge gaps, enhancing the bank’s visibility in research and knowledge generation.
Mr Musumba said APRWPS would also contribute to policy advisory, formulation, and implementation among member states.
He said, “This new series is designed to complement Afreximbank’s existing research publications, including the Journal of African Trade, the Contemporary Issues in African Trade and Trade Finance, the African Trade Report and the Distinguished Lecture Series.
“The launch of this policy research series aligns with Afreximbank’s goal of becoming a leading authority in African trade and trade finance.”
Yemi Kale, managing director and group chief economist of Afreximbank, explained that the APRWPS “aims to promote research and knowledge dissemination in development economics, trade, and trade finance” relevant to Africa’s development.
He added, “It is an important vehicle to enhance the global image of Africa by contributing to global research and knowledge production.”
He said authors interested in contributing to the APRWPS can submit manuscripts to editor.aprwps@afreximbank.com.
Mr Musumba also mentioned that the guidelines for submitting papers and the scope of research topics were available on the Afreximbank website www.afreximbank.com.
He said, “The inaugural issue, APRWS/2024, released in March 2024, features six papers authored by 14 contributors and can be accessed at https://www.afreximbank.com/working-paper-series/.”
