Debt and private sector growth will be the top agenda on Tuesday as French President Emmanuel Macron hosts a summit on financing African economies.
Around 30 heads of state and leaders from international organizations will participate in the hybrid event, held both online and in-person in Paris.
A note to journalists from L’Élysée last week noted that Macron wants to find “new and ambitious solutions” to help Africa face the unprecedented shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to “return to growth, like the other continents that were able to put in place massive recovery plans.”
