In its commitment to helping local companies grow and become local champions, CLKA provides its expertise in financing large-scale projects in which they are involved. It is therefore with great pleasure that we advised and assisted our client in raising CFA 8.4 billion from the banking pool of Société Générale Côte d’Ivoire, ECOBANK, and BNI.
The transaction benefited from risk coverage provided by the French Development Agency (ARIZ guarantee) and African Trade Insurance (ATI).
This financing will be used to execute a strategic project of sub-regional importance, with a significant impact on integration—one of our key focus areas—particularly through the facilitation of trade in goods and merchandise, as well as the movement of people within UEMOA and ECOWAS, in full alignment with the deployment of the brand-new African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) initiated by the African Union.
We reiterate our congratulations to all parties involved in this operation and to EMIRE PARTNERS for the excellent quality of their collaboration.
THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT, IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING…
