During a prospecting mission conducted on London's financial market by the Minister of Finance, Louis Paul Motazé, the Treasury's orientations turned toward unprecedented financial mechanisms for the national economy. This approach encompasses the careful examination of bonds denominated in Asian currencies, such as Panda Bonds and Samurai Bonds, as well as the potential use of Sukuks, instruments compliant with Islamic finance principles whose structuring relies on tangible assets and real economic flows rather than conventional interest. Although no precise timeline or quantified volume has yet been established, the executive signals its readiness to activate these levers as soon as macroeconomic conditions and windows of opportunity on the relevant markets prove favorable.

This opening toward new bond horizons — whether yuan-denominated loans on the Chinese market or yen-denominated issuances in Japan — responds to an imperative to ease the budgetary burden. Although the state's overall debt ratio remains contained below the maximum threshold set by community regulation, the share of public revenue absorbed by interest payments is experiencing a pronounced rise.


To address this constraint and secure optimal refinancing conditions, the diversification of lenders and maturities is associated with the use of innovative tools, such as the Sustainable Financing Framework adopted to mobilize resources earmarked for projects with high environmental and social impact. Backed by bridge loans and risk-sharing mechanisms structured with leading multilateral institutions, the Treasury thus consolidates the resilience of its sovereign signature on international markets.
