Attijari Mauritania, a subsidiary of the famous Moroccan group of the same name, became the first financial entity of this north-west african-country, following the creation of ten (10) new local branches and recruitment, in an economic context difficult, of over 60 Mauritanian officers and employees, thanks to a new investment of 10 billion ouguiya, or about $ 29 million in 2015.
This revelation was made by the CEO of Attijari Bank Mauritanie, Othaman Boudaimi, in an exclusive interview with the Mauritanian weekly newspaper “Le Calame” on the sidelines of the fourth forum “Afrique Développement” held in Casablanca on 25 and 26 February 2016.
This event was marked by a strong presence of Mauritanian employers. In this interview, the first head of Attijari Bank Mauritania explained: the spirit that guides the action of the now largest group in the CFA zone (UEMOA and CEMAC), in Mauritania does not calculate in terms of profits. ”Doing good business is not our priority. Our major concern is to share our experience, successful in Morocco with our Mauritanian brothers”
That is why the effort in investment and network expansion in 2015. Estimated between 7% and 9%, the banking rate in Mauritania is still low.
