The 4th AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF2025), a pivotal event aimed at bolstering economic and commercial ties between Africa and the Caribbean, has successfully concluded in St. George's, Grenada. Hosted by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) in partnership with the Government of Grenada, the forum, which ran from July 28-30, 2025, has laid significant groundwork for future collaboration and investment.
Under the theme "Resilience and Transformation: Enhancing Africa-Caribbean Economic Cooperation in an Era of Global Uncertainty," ACTIF2025 brought together an impressive array of stakeholders, including Heads of State, senior government officials, and private sector leaders from across both regions and beyond. The discussions focused on tangible strategies to accelerate trade, boost investment, and establish a resilient transatlantic economic corridor.
A key highlight of the forum was the signing of five transformative deals on Day 1 alone, totaling over US$290 million. These agreements underscore Afreximbank's commitment to investing in critical trade-enabling infrastructure and fostering economic development throughout the Caribbean. Discussions also explored charting a unified Free Trade Area between Africa and the Caribbean, stimulating the creative economy, and significantly improving air and sea connectivity – all factors with direct implications for logistics, tourism, and real estate development.
For the real estate sector, the outcomes of ACTIF2025 signal immense potential. Enhanced trade routes, increased investment flows, and a push for greater regional integration will inevitably lead to demand for commercial properties, logistics hubs, hospitality infrastructure, and residential developments that support a growing business and professional population. The forum's emphasis on sectors like tourism, manufacturing, and infrastructure directly translates into opportunities for strategic real estate investments.
Troloppe Property Services is closely monitoring these developments, recognizing the strategic importance of this burgeoning economic partnership. As experts in identifying and facilitating prime real estate opportunities, we anticipate a significant ripple effect from the commitments made at ACTIF2025, driving new growth and value across both continents.
The forum served as a powerful platform for transforming vision into actionable results, fostering new trade linkages, formalizing investment pipelines, and creating pathways for growth. We look forward to seeing the practical implementation of these initiatives and their positive impact on the real estate landscape, particularly within dynamic markets like Lagos.
