The aim of the project is to expand BOA's banking network in West Africa.

Objectives

The project is consistent with the objectives of the Cotonou Agreement insofar as it (i) promotes regional integration in the financial sector thanks to the backing of an international banking group, (ii) supports the development of the banking sector, and (iii) offers businesses and households a better range of financial products.

Sector(s)

Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

It notifies potential customers that projects must comply with the environmental, health and safety requirements of the host country and includes appropriate environmental clauses in the loan contracts to ensure compliance.

Procurement

BOA will ensure that the equipment, works and services to be financed under this operation are procured at the most advantageous prices with a guarantee of quality and efficiency.
