The 20th forum of Francophone central bank training managers was held in Nouakchott, Mauritania, under the supervision of Mohamed Amine Ould Dahabi, Governor of the Central Bank of Mauritania. The event brought together experts and professionals from various central banks to discuss key issues and challenges facing the banking sector. Ould Dahabi emphasized the need for central banks to adapt to the changing global economic landscape.
In his opening remarks, Ould Dahabi noted that the current state of global economic uncertainty has led to increased turbulence and overlapping risks. He stressed that the role of central bankers is undergoing a profound transformation, requiring them to distinguish between temporary signals and sustainable changes. This, he said, would enable them to make informed decisions despite ongoing uncertainties.
The Central Bank of Mauritania governor highlighted the importance of training and capacity building in the banking sector. He emphasized that possessing analytical and forecasting tools, as well as technical expertise, is crucial for effective decision-making. Ould Dahabi also underscored the need for central banks to develop their ability to analyze data, ask questions, and use information without losing sight of the reality on the ground.
The forum aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among central bank professionals. Ould Dahabi expressed his hope that the event would enable participants to better prepare for the future, enhance their institutions' capacity to learn, and foster greater cooperation. He also emphasized the importance of language in facilitating communication and collaboration among central banks.
The use of French as a common language, Ould Dahabi noted, allows working groups to share educational and training resources, compare approaches, and develop joint solutions. He stressed that this should not lead to uniformity of thought, but rather facilitate a fruitful exchange of ideas. The forum provided a platform for participants to engage in constructive discussions and explore new approaches to addressing common challenges.
The event brought together experts from various Francophone central banks, providing a unique opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing. Ould Dahabi expressed his gratitude to the organizers and participants, emphasizing the importance of such forums in promoting cooperation and understanding among central banks.
