Banco Nacional de Guinea Ecuatorial (BANGE) will participate in the 2025 edition of African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies, taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town. The move underscores the bank’s commitment to supporting investment in Equatorial Guinea’s oil and gas sector.
AEW 2025 will also feature the official launch of the EG Ronda 2026 licensing round, part of the government’s strategy to attract fresh investment and revive upstream activity. The initiative aims to counter recent declines in oil revenues and reserves while positioning Equatorial Guinea as a competitive player in the global energy market.
BANGE’s participation highlights the role of local financial institutions in bridging financing gaps that have constrained sector growth. By engaging investors and stakeholders at the event, the bank seeks to facilitate partnerships that will translate investments into tangible economic benefits for the country.
“BANGE’s participation at AEW 2025 highlights the crucial role local financial institutions play in mobilizing investment for Equatorial Guinea’s energy sector, ensuring that growth translates into sustainable development for the country,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.
The bank will also exhibit at AEW 2025, reinforcing its position as a strategic partner in driving energy investment and contributing to the sustainable development of Equatorial Guinea’s energy landscape.
