New momentum for the economic development of the Central African Republic

Bangui, 2 April 2026 - Yesterday, the Minister of Economy, Planning and International Cooperation had the honor of receiving a high-level delegation from the Saudi Fund for Development. This meeting marks another important step toward strengthening international partnerships and advancing concrete development projects.

In the context of the renewed political momentum following the inauguration of President Faustin-Archange Touadéra and the beginning of the 7th Republic, one thing is clear: the Central African Republic is firmly committed to sustainable development, infrastructure, and social progress.

Key discussion points included:

  • Evaluation of ongoing projects in infrastructure and healthcare

  • Identification of new investment opportunities

A flagship initiative is the construction of a modern 126-bed hospital—an important step toward improving healthcare access in the country.
