Tanoh was attending the Second Session of the Presidential Council for Investment. He was accompanied by Yolande Duhem, IFC Director for West and Central Africa, and Mary-Jean Moyo, IFC Country Manager for Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<p>IFC will invest up to $600,000 in Banque de l\u2019Habitat du Burkina Faso, the first bank in Burkina Faso dedicated to housing, helping strengthen the country\u2019s financial sector while demonstrating the commercial viability of mortgage lending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe partnership between IFC and BHBF will be fruitful for both institutions, as it will expand access to housing for a large majority of Burkinabes,\u201d said Pierre Zerbo, CEO of Banque de l\u2019Habitat du Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment reaffirms IFC\u2019s commitment to supporting private sector development in Burkina Faso,\u201d said Tanoh. \u201cThe success of this program will require a strong commitment and continued cooperation from all parties in the housing value chain, including BHBF, developers, regulators, and other financial institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IFC and six partners launched a sector-wide advisory program in September 2009, to help create a viable and sustainable mortgage market in Burkina Faso. IFC is also supporting the government in its commitment to being a leader in investment climate reforms, as reflected by its significant rise in the Doing Business ranking. In 2010, Burkina Faso was recognized as the world\u2019s fourth most consistent reformer over the last five years. For two consecutive years, the country has ranked first among UEMOA and OHADA countries in the ease of doing business.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201103300691.html\" title=\"IFC Invests in Banque de l?Habitat to Improve Access to Housing Finance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IFC Invests in Banque de l?Habitat to Improve Access to Housing Finance<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> International Finance Corporation (Washington,\u00a0DC) 25 March 2011 press release IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, today signed an agreement with Banque de l\u2019Habitat du Burkina Faso to support housing finance, a key sector in the country.
