It was on Friday December 8, 2023 at the BCEAO headquarters, during the last phase of the 2023 edition of the Executive Strategic Banking Management Certificate - Level 2 (CEMSTRAT 2) that a dozen directors of banking institutions in the Union & eacute; West African Monetary Economy (UEMOA) received their strategic management certificate

La CEMSTRAT 2 a été organisé suite à la collaboration du Centre ouest africain de formation et d' études bancaires (Cofeb) de la Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) and HEC Paris. Indeed, Cofeb has provided training to its recipients in order to enable them to “strengthen their managerial capacities”. According to the adviser to the CEO of Cofeb, Patrick Kodjo, who was speaking at a graduation ceremony, the training should allow them to execute “their company's strategic projects.” According to him, the lessons that the recipients have received are “an opportunity to fully master the mechanisms that can create value” for the banking institutions they
