Senegal's President Macky Sall said on Thursday that financing is in place to enable construction to begin in earnest on a $1.13 billion deep-water port being developed by Dubai's state-owned port operator DP World.

DP World has said the first phase will include 840 metres of quay and a 5 km marine channel designed to handle 366-metre vessels, with a second phase adding 410 metres of container quay and further dredging to handle 400-metre vessels.

Sall, who is chairman of the African Union, told the summit that such projects remain under-financed, and when they do get finance, they are burdened by high interest rates and debts. "Africa has always paid a high price for its projects because of high interest rates," he said, adding that the continent needed to raise the issue with its partners.
