Niger will benefit from the IMF, a loan of 278 million dollars spread over three in order, in particular, to finance the fight against corruption and promote a healthier environment for business.

Coming to power in April 2021, the new Nigerien president, Mohamed Bazoum, has pledged to fight mercilessly against corruption, a gangrene which has grown considerably under his predecessor Mahamadou Issoufou. Despite the firm will reaffirmed by President Bazoum, the fight against corruption and embezzlement of public funds is not won in advance in Niger, as the scourge accelerated between 2011 and 2021 during the two five-year terms of former President Issoufou. The challenge is all the greater since the civil servants involved are often militants of the ruling party or allied parties, while the corrupting businessmen are donors to political parties.
