Statement by H.E Selma Malika Haddadi, AUC Deputy Chairperson, Delivered at the Joint Ministerial Committee of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund at the 2026 World Bank Spring Meetings
Mr. Chair,
Excellencies,
Distinguished Ministers, Governors, and Partners,
On behalf of the AUC, I thank the World Bank Group, under the leadership of President Ajay Banga, for this timely report, at a time of high pressure on our continent and the world, and for bringing the critical issue of creating an enabling environment for more and better-paid jobs to the center of this Committee’s discussions.
For Africa, this is not an abstract policy question. It is an urgent development, economic, and stability imperative.
