Transforming the international financial architecture to give Africa a fair chance: the call is clear, but the path to achieve it remains complex. Faced with soaring African debt and a global system where the continent has captured only 4.5% of the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), African leaders are pushing for reforms and advocating a united stance on overhauling the Bretton Woods system and managing debt. At the heart of this effort, Serge Ekué, President of BOAD, champions a bold proposal: turning SDRs into an investment instrument for regional development banks. In this session, he will outline concrete avenues for reform.
