Points clés à retenir
Coris Bank’s entry into Chad marks its first presence in the CEMAC region, complementing its operations in WAEMU countries. Chad is seen as a strategic market with untapped opportunities in sectors such as energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. Diakarya Ouattara, Chairman of the Board, described Chad as undergoing a “dynamic economic transformation” and highlighted Coris Bank’s goal of becoming a key partner in that process. With regional integration high on the agenda, the move positions Coris as a catalyst for cross-border financial flows and trade between West and Central Africa. The Chad launch reinforces Coris Bank’s ambition to be a pan-African financial powerhouse and aligns with its long-term strategy to support young talent, local businesses, and regional economic integration through inclusive finance and banking innovation.
