GATEWAY TO AFRICA :
The Journey has begun with The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah!
As the saying goes, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And for The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah, each step defines the essence of what we value. It starts with people, their basic needs, and the knowledge and inspiration required to thrive, grow and be successful throughout their lives. We will focus on our young people to help them flourish in ways unavailable to them today. Our vision will be revealed fully as our banks crisscross the African continent and touch millions of lives.
The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah has created an innovative economic development plan for the whole of Africa and, in particular, for those countries and their citizens that wish to participate. Our “partner countries” will benefit from enrolling in our “Gateway to Africa” program by experiencing an unprecedented amount of outside investment and a new level of cooperation between nations. Our program is comprehensive and specifically designed to help create a renaissance opportunity for our partner countries.
Gateway to Africa, it should be noted, is not only for Africans. This program focuses on building African nations by recruiting our European, Middle Eastern and South Asian sponsors who provide the resources to “prime the pump.” Africa’s role and prestige will be enhanced as the world comes to fully appreciate Africa and its contributions to the quality of life for everyone.
While it is true that many nations hope to achieve what we are proposing, most are not blessed with the abundant natural resources required to make this plan work. It is these resources that will allow The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah to attract investors from around the world in support of our $5 trillion USD development plan.
The journey begins with a road map, and here is ours
Our Gateway to Africa program has seven key elements:
- Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah. Our program starts with the foundation of an international Islamic Investment Bank. After all, nothing happens in this world without investment and we must create the conduit for channeling funds into Africa from around the world. Additionally, the wealth embedded in the African ground will be monetized in ways that encourage re-investment back into Africa for the benefit of Africans. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will have its own commodity trading desks for all minerals and other resources; we will trade in foreign currencies. We will fund state-owned and private company projects and work jointly with Central Banks. All activities will be conducted with the oversite of key international, national, and local governmental authorities.
- The First African Gold Crypto Currency. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will design, manufacture and distribute the first African Gold Crypto Currency coin; this coin will be launched first in the United States in 2021, and ultimately expanded throughout the world. This currency will prove to be an important mechanism for facilitating trade and investment by providing new levels of liquidity and security. It is believed investors, collectors and traders will highly value these unique solid gold coins as resourced-backed currencies offer more than just promises to pay.
- Energy for Africa. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will be a foundational partner in the MMH+ABS Engineering Group. This organization will focus on developing energy infrastructure including oil & gas, and coal-to-liquid fuels. Joint venture proposals are currently in progress for processing plants in multiple African countries.
- Infrastructure for Improved Living Standards. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will develop “Smart Energy” cities throughout Africa. The Smart Energy cities will feature balanced portfolios of traditional and renewable energy generation, reflecting the availability of local natural resources, concern for the environment, and economic considerations. These cities will provide all the support infrastructure necessary for workers in the energy plants and feature housing, education, medical, religious, and entertainment facilities along with transportation.
- Free Trade Zones. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will fund a unique concept to promote intra-continental and worldwide trading while growing employment and raising the standard of living. The Free Trade Zones will become a fundamental part of our road map where banking will be integrated with the development of natural resources, energy production, infrastructure, currency, and trading.
- Hajj and Umrah. The Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah will be working with local Muslim communities to facilitate Hajj and Umrah travel to Saudi Arabia as well as develop tourism and business connections. Umrah is a beautiful spiritual journey taken by every single Muslim to honor Allah.
- Charity. TThe Bank of Makkah & Al Madinah holds its charitable commitments in high esteem. In addition to contributing 2.5% of profits every year to charitable causes, the Bank and its employees are expected to play active roles in their communities to help those in need with food, shelter, education, and healthcare.
