I had a fruitful working session on Friday in Abidjan with a Guinean ministerial delegation led by Ms Mariama CirĂ© Sylla, Minister of Economy, Finance and Budget and Governor of the African Development Bank Group for Guinea. We share the same ambition: to mobilise more resources to accelerate Guinea’s economic transformation and support its major development projects, notably the Simandou 2040 Programme. This ambition is fully aligned with the New African Financial Architecture for Development (#NAFAD) and the Four Cardinal Points, which place the mobilisation of African capital, financial sovereignty, our demographic potential and resilient infrastructure at the heart of our action. --- J’ai eu une sĂ©ance de travail fructueuse ce vendredi Ă  Abidjan avec une dĂ©lĂ©gation ministĂ©rielle guinĂ©enne conduite par Mme Mariama CirĂ© Sylla, ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et du Budget et gouverneure du Groupe de la Banque pour la GuinĂ©e. Nous partageons une mĂȘme ambition : mobiliser davantage de ressources pour accĂ©lĂ©rer la transformation Ă©conomique de la GuinĂ©e et soutenir ses projets structurants, notamment le Programme Simandou 2040. Cette ambition rejoint pleinement la NAFAD et mes Quatre Points cardinaux, qui placent la mobilisation du capital africain, la souverainetĂ© financiĂšre, notre potentiel dĂ©mographique et les infrastructures rĂ©silientes au cƓur de notre action.
