Macky Sall
At the 32nd Annual Meetings of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), held in Abuja from June 25 to 28, 2025, former Senegalese President Macky Sall distinguished himself on June 25 during a high-level panel dedicated to the future of African multilateral financial institutions (AMFIs) in a world marked by polarization. Flanked by former African and Caribbean heads of state, he addressed the crucial challenges facing these institutions: state leadership, partner confidence, mobilization of internal and external resources, private sector involvement, access to credit for states, debt management, and the need for increased funding of AMFIs by member countries to strengthen their influence in governance.
Macky Sall called on African states to invest fully in IFMAs, which he sees as essential drivers of endogenous and inclusive growth, particularly within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The discussions also highlighted the urgent need to recapitalize African banks, review the often biased criteria of international rating agencies, and reform the global financial architecture. Afreximbank's strategic role was unanimously praised for its support to the continent's economies in the face of current economic challenges.
