Benin is committed to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and achieve the SDGs.

In July 2021, Benin made its mark on the international market with a 500 million euro issue (328 billion CFA francs with a 14-year maturity). The particularity of this issue (the first issue of an SDG Eurobond by an African country and one of the first in the world) is that it is intended to exclusively finance several social and environmental projects that contribute to Benin's commitments to achieve the SDGs. Two years later, in June 2023, the mobilization of 350 million Euros from Deutsche Bank on attractive terms, for the exclusive financing of highly SDG-sensitive expenditure, further underlines this commitment.
