Collaboration with the Lusophone African countries was initiated in the phase of the Association of Bank Training. However, it was after 1991 that the activities of the Banking Training Institute in PALOP started to develop more comprehensive and sustained manner. Indeed, the political-economic changes occurring in those countries led to the need for a commercial bank performing, in line with the requirements of market economy that was intended to deploy. Thus, their central banks have asked the Portuguese Association of Banks on the collaboration of the IFB in the definition and implementation of training for professionals of their financial systems.
The cooperation of the IFB with PALOP (Angola, Mozambique, Sao Tome and Principe, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde) was guided by two essential components:
- The transfer of know-how;
