President Alassane Ouattara and his Prime Minister Patrick Achi (his former secretary-general) are personally following the case within the government. The Côte d’Ivoire head of state has long wanted to see the development of a robust Ivorian bank, capable of regional influence, following the example of Moroccan establishments. This is all the truer given that the takeover of Oragroup by the Côte d’Ivoire bank IPS-CGRAE has been blocked since late 2020.
