Le Fonds mon\u00e9taire international (FMI) a annonc\u00e9, le 1er novembre 2024, l\u2019ajout d\u2019un 25e si\u00e8ge \u00e0 son conseil d\u2019administration, concr\u00e9tisant ainsi les revendications de longue date des pays africains pour une meilleure repr\u00e9sentativit\u00e9 de l\u2019Afrique subsaharienne au sein de l\u2019institution. \u00c0 cette fonction, c\u2019est le technocrate ivoirien Ouattara Wautabouna qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9. Mais qui est donc cet homme qui incarne d\u00e9sormais la voix de l’Afrique subsaharienne au FMI ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e9 le 8 septembre 1971 \u00e0 Abidjan, Wautabouna Ouattara est un diplomate aguerri et titulaire d\u2019un doctorat en sciences \u00e9conomiques de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny. Il a dirig\u00e9 la politique d’int\u00e9gration ivoirienne de 2013 \u00e0 2022 avant de succ\u00e9der \u00e0 Marcel Amon-Tanoh comme secr\u00e9taire ex\u00e9cutif du Conseil de l’Entente, puis d’\u00eatre nomm\u00e9 ministre d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s du ministre des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, de l’Int\u00e9gration et des Ivoiriens de l’ext\u00e9rieur dans le gouvernement de Robert Beugr\u00e9 Mamb\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa riche exp\u00e9rience diplomatique et \u00e0 son expertise en sciences \u00e9conomiques et financi\u00e8res, M. Ouattara repr\u00e9sente d\u00e9sormais 14 pays d’Afrique subsaharienne au conseil d\u2019administration du FMI. Bien que ces pays ne disposent que de 1,40 % des voix totales au sein du Fonds, sa nomination ouvre la voie \u00e0 une plus grande repr\u00e9sentativit\u00e9 africaine dans l\u2019institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il faut souligner que l\u2019ajout de ce 25e si\u00e8ge, dont la r\u00e9solution a \u00e9t\u00e9 introduite en juillet, constitue la premi\u00e8re r\u00e9forme d\u2019ampleur du conseil d\u2019administration du FMI depuis 1992. L\u2019id\u00e9e de renforcer le r\u00f4le des pays africains au FMI a pris de l\u2019\u00e9lan durant la pand\u00e9mie de Covid-19, lorsque l\u2019institution a allou\u00e9 une somme exceptionnelle de 650 milliards de dollars pour soutenir l\u2019\u00e9conomie mondiale. Alors que l\u2019Afrique \u00e9tait particuli\u00e8rement vuln\u00e9rable aux impacts \u00e9conomiques de la crise, elle n\u2019a pu recevoir qu\u2019environ 33 milliards de dollars, une situation r\u00e9v\u00e9lant l\u2019insuffisance de sa repr\u00e9sentativit\u00e9 et qui a accentu\u00e9 la volont\u00e9 des dirigeants africains d’\u0153uvrer pour une r\u00e9forme de l\u2019architecture financi\u00e8re mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avec cette r\u00e9forme, les 45 pays de l\u2019Afrique subsaharienne sont d\u00e9sormais regroup\u00e9s en trois circonscriptions \u2013 Afrique centrale et orientale, Afrique australe, et Afrique de l\u2019Ouest \u2013 au lieu de deux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab C’est une \u00e9tape historique pour le FMI et pour l’Afrique<\/em> \u00bb, a affirm\u00e9 la directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale Kristalina Georgieva. \u00ab L’ajout d’un troisi\u00e8me si\u00e8ge africain \u00e0 notre Conseil ne refl\u00e8te pas seulement les progr\u00e8s consid\u00e9rables du continent dans le d\u00e9veloppement de son potentiel humain et \u00e9conomique, il renforcera \u00e9galement la voix de l’Afrique et rapprochera le FMI des populations que nous servons.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le Fonds mon\u00e9taire international (FMI) a annonc\u00e9, le 1er novembre 2024, l\u2019ajout d\u2019un 25e si\u00e8ge \u00e0 son conseil d\u2019administration, concr\u00e9tisant ainsi les revendications de longue date des pays africains pour une meilleure repr\u00e9sentativit\u00e9 de l\u2019Afrique subsaharienne au sein de l\u2019institution. \u00c0 cette fonction, c\u2019est le technocrate ivoirien Ouattara Wautabouna qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9.
