The Council of Ministers of the West African Economic and Monetary Union approved its five-year strategic plan "Djoliba, the sequel" on March 27 in Dakar. The West African Development Bank plans to provide 6,500 billion CFA francs ($11.5 billion) in financing for the 2026-2030 period.

The bank supports this acceleration with solid financial fundamentals. Between 2021 and 2025, the institution mobilized 3,765 billion CFA francs and recorded an average annual growth of 11% in its net banking income. Its non-performing loan ratio remained at 2.5%. This plan commits the institution to mobilizing 6,500 billion CFA francs (approximately $11.5 billion) in financing between 2026 and 2030. This objective almost doubles the commitments of the previous cycle.

The bank has structured its 6,500 billion CFA franc objective around three main levers: raising 2,650 billion CFA francs through market borrowings, mobilizing 1,100 billion CFA francs through securitization, and increasing its equity.
