At the Benin Investment Forum (BIF), Mr. Létondji Beheton, Managing Director of SIPI-Benin S.A., shared his expertise on financial solutions to support ambitious industrial projects, particularly within special economic zones. During his presentation, he addressed key points:
- Innovative financing mechanisms to support both SMEs and large industries
- The strategic role of export credit agencies in financing industrial projects exceeding €550 million within the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ)
- The economic reforms implemented since 2016 have positioned Benin as a key investment hub in West Africa
The GDIZ continues to play a key role in Benin’s industrialization by creating a favorable environment for the establishment and financing of large-scale industries. As a Special Economic Zone, it is a catalyst for economic growth and international attractiveness for the country.
