Following the announcement of a US$30 million development policy grant to The Gambia, the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Honourable Mambury Njie, on behalf of the government of The Gambia, has on Friday expressed gratitude to the World Bank Board of Executive Directors for the development assistance.
‘‘It shows that, as a country, we are doing well economically and have successfully reached the targets set despite the challenges we face,’’ said Hon. Njie while thanking his team and the President of the country, His Excellency, Adama Barrow for creating the enabling environment.
‘‘It is based on the economic performance of the country that we can access all these funds and we hope to be able to sustain this performance.’’
