Vice President Tiémoko Meyliet Koné meets with African Development Bank President Dr. Sidi Ould Tah

Following the meeting, Dr. Tah expressed his admiration for Côte d'Ivoire's strong macroeconomic performance, recently confirmed by the International Monetary Fund IMF. He attributed these achievements to the bold reforms implemented by successive governments over the past 14 years, under the leadership of President Alassane Ouattara. Dr. Tah also discussed the National Development Plan PND 2026-2030, recently adopted by the Ivorian government and parliament, assuring the AfDB Group's commitment as a strategic partner to play a leading role in mobilizing resources for its financing.

Additionally, their discussions covered the New African Financial Architecture for Development NAFAD and the establishment of a pan-African guarantee mechanism through the recapitalization of the African Trade Insurance Agency ATIDI, of which Côte d'Ivoire is a member. Dr. Tah noted that the AfDB, also an ATIDI shareholder, has quintupled its capital participation to signal strong support for this crucial instrument in mobilizing investments across the continent. Emmanuel Ahoutou Koffi, Minister and Chief of Staff to the Vice President, also attended the meeting.
