He took office on 1 September 2025, for an initial five-year term, with the objective of repositioning the Bank to act with greater agility, accountability and proximity to its clients, in the service of Africa\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">He has begun this repositioning around his strategic vision, the \u201cFour Cardinal Points\u201d: Unlock Africa\u2019s Capital Power; Rebuild Africa\u2019s Financial Sovereignty; Turn Demographics into a Dividend; Build Resilient Infrastructure and Competitive Value Chains. At its heart is the New African Financial Architecture for Development (NAFAD) \u2014 resting on subsidiarity, complementarity, coordination and risk transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">NAFAD aims at mobilising the continent\u2019s own resources, alongside those of the Bank Group\u2019s partners, to help close Africa\u2019s estimated $400 billion annual development financing gap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Since taking office, this vision has translated into action: the seventeenth replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF-17), the Bank Group\u2019s concessional window, concluded in December 2025 with a record $11 billion mobilised. The African Union Summit endorsed NAFAD in February 2026; and in Brazzaville in May 2026, the Board of Governors Four Cardinal Points made the Four Cardinal Points the institution\u2019s strategic direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">An economist and development finance leader with extensive public-sector and multilateral experience, Dr Sidi Ould Tah served as President of the Arab Bank<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) from 2015 to 2025, during which the institution moved from unrated to AAA\/Aa1\/AA+ credit ratings. He also served as Mauritania\u2019s Minister of Economy and Finance from 2008 to 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Dr Sidi Ould Tah holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France.
