Malian president advocates a virtuous economic policy

After the speech of the Senegalese President, the guests discussed around the theme: Promotion of the private sector as driver of emergence: development of national champions and private investments.

For the head of the Malian state, Mr. Ibrahim Boubacar Keita "the time of the bowl is over, that is to say the policy of the extended hand. For this, he advocates a virtuous economic policy for African countries. Speaking of youth, he suggests the training of all young people. In addition, he also recommends that basic equipment be available for a large number of the population.

Regarding agriculture, he said that his country allocates 15% of its GDP to this sector. This enabled them to produce 10 million tons of cereals and 728 thousand tons of cotton during the last crop year. But for this important cotton production, Mali only transforms 2%, which creates a significant loss of value for this country.
