Abidjan: Africa’s new economic environment is the theme of the 2015 Africa CEO Forum to be held in Geneva. It is co-organised by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Paris-based magazine group, Jeune Afrique, will focus primarily on development priorities of African businesses.
It will be an opportunity for the AfDB, and notably its Private Sector Department, to reemphasize its strategic mandate in partnering with African countries in “doing business”. Some 800 leading decision-makers from Africa and elsewhere, including AfDB President Donald Kaberuka, will be in attendance.
The Bank is set to grow its private sector portfolio and play a greater co-investment and co-financing role beyond its annual investment target of around US $2 billion per annum,” said Kodeidja Diallo, Director of AfDB’s Private Sector Department. Africa’s economic outlook will be discussed in depth. Experts and delegates will discuss the growth paths of Africa’s economies over the next five years.
