We’re honored to feature Abdullah KH ALMUSAIBEEH, President of the BADEA - Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa , as one of the most influential development finance leaders of 2026.
With more than three decades of experience in international development finance, ALMUSAIBEEH has dedicated his career to strengthening economic cooperation, mobilizing investment, and supporting sustainable growth across Africa and the world. Under his leadership, BADEA continues to play a vital role in advancing infrastructure, energy, agriculture, trade, private-sector development, digital connectivity, and human capital.
His leadership philosophy goes beyond financing projects. Rooted in trust, listening, partnership, and local ownership, ALMUSAIBEEH believes that sustainable development is built by empowering countries to pursue their own priorities while connecting governments, development institutions, and private investors around shared opportunities.
With a strong focus on climate resilience, regional integration, transformation, food security, and investment-driven growth, he is helping shape a more connected, resilient, and prosperous future for Africa.
His vision reflects a powerful belief: true hashtag is not measured solely by capital deployed, but by the lasting opportunities, stronger institutions, and positive impact created for communities and future generations.
