These include increasing our lending and investment capacity to better meet the ever-growing needs of our public and private-sector partners in the energy sector. This remarkable show of support from our member countries shall also cement APICORP\u2019s profile as a financially strong, well-capitalized, highly-liquid and consistently profitable MDB.\u201d<\/p>\n
