Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) has, at the behest of Government of India, extended a Line of Credit (LOC) of US$ 10 million to the Government of Senegal, under the "Team-9 Initiative". The LOC Agreement to this effect has been signed in New Delhi, on Monday, July 02, 2007, by Mr. Sunil Trikha, Chief General Manager, on behalf of Exim Bank and Mr. Amadou Bocoum, Ambassador of Senegal to India, on behalf of the Government of Senegal. The LOC has been earmarked for financing IT Training project in Senegal. Exim Bank already has in place five Lines of Credit amounting to US$ 78 million that have been extended to the Government of Senegal.
Team-9 envisages a special cooperation model between India and 8 countries of West Africa, viz. Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Senegal. Under the Team-9 initiative, GOI provides LOCs through Exim Bank to Team-9 countries to finance setting up of various projects by Indian companies in these countries.
