The Director General of the Investment Promotion Agency of Mauritania (APIM), Dr Tah Ahmed Meouloud, received a delegation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), led by Mr Sameh Wahba, Regional Director for West Africa and the Sahel.
Discussions focused on opportunities to strengthen support for Mauritania’s private sector, particularly through supporting SMEs, improving their access to finance and markets, and fostering partnerships with investors.
The discussions also addressed ways to strengthen local content and overcome constraints hindering investment and business development in Mauritania.
Both institutions agreed to pursue technical discussions to identify priority areas for collaboration and define the forms of support that IFC could provide, in coordination with APIM, to foster private sector development and unlock new investment opportunities.
