00:00So talk to us about these new cooperation agreements. How meaningful actually are they?
00:05Well, I mean, many of the agreements are MOUs and partnerships.
00:10With no real concrete details, timelines or any funding amounts.
00:15So the immediate economic impact is limited.
00:20You cover important sectors for Senegal, such as energy, infrastructure, transport.
00:25Agriculture and, of course, cooperation on ports and highway can potentially improve
00:30trade. Morocco is already a major investor and trade partner.
00:35To Senegal in banking, insurance and energy.
00:38So likely these new agreements.
00:40This will build on real ongoing economic ties.
00:43But, of course, the real.
00:45Impact depends on the implementation.
00:48Yeah, absolutely.
00:50Any cooperation agreement.
00:51Is Morocco a key partner for Senegal right now?
00:55They are.
00:57Trade has been quadrupled.
01:00Between 2014 and 2024, Moroccan companies.
01:05Play a major role in Senegal's banking and insurance sectors.
01:10The local affiliates of Atitari Waffa Bank and BMC Group are.
01:15Among Senegal's largest lenders by asset.
01:18There's also the Moroccan OCD.
01:20Atitari Waffa Bank and BMC Group, one of the world's largest phosphate and fertilized producers
01:23that are key investors.
01:25Atitari Waffa Bank and BMC Group, one of the world's largest
01:53countries could make a lucrative partnership.
