AES Confederation: The challenges of creating an investment bank and a stabilisation fund

In a unified effort to tackle the numerous challenges plaguing the Liptako-Gourma region, especially within the three member states of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), leaders are now planning to establish an Investment Bank and a Stabilization Fund.

 

This major announcement was made on July 6 in Niamey during the inaugural summit of heads of state, which formalized the creation of the Confederation of Sahel States.

 

The ambitious economic initiative was reaffirmed by Colonel Assimi GOÏTA, the current president of the AES Confederation and transitional president, on September 15, ahead of the Alliance’s first anniversary.

 

Many view this move as a strategic mechanism that could enable leaders to bring their vision for socioeconomic development and regional stability to fruition.

 

According to Colonel GOÏTA, the economic and financial collaboration between the AES countries aims to boost investment through bold projects and to foster development that will benefit the local population.

 

Observers argue that the establishment of these financial institutions marks a critical step towards promoting sustainable economic growth in a region plagued by insecurity.

 

These institutions are expected to make it easier to access financing for infrastructure, industrialization, and economic diversification projects, which are vital to addressing the underlying causes of instability and underdevelopment.

 

Moreover, the initiative reflects the leaders’ determination to build a solid financial framework that supports their collective efforts.

 

By pooling necessary resources, they intend to strengthen their operational capabilities in the fight against terrorism.

 

Ultimately, the creation of the Investment Bank and the Stabilization Fund is envisioned as the driving force behind joint actions aimed at securing freedom and prosperity for these nations.
