Public Management(Ecofin Agency) - This funding supports the Senegalese government's efforts to develop smart cities and accelerate economic growth, in a context of boosting intra-African trade. The ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID) has just granted CFA65 billion ($104.6 million) in financing to support urban development initiatives in Senegal. Additionally, it lays the groundwork for economic growth in the city of Saint-Louis in anticipation of forthcoming oil and gas extraction endeavors. Saint-Louis is set to evolve into a hub for hydrocarbon activities, sparking growth in economic ventures and the influx of new services and industries. The credit extension brings EBID's commitments to Senegal to around CFA 350 billion.
