The handover process at the Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC) in France took nearly two days to complete, concluding at 0:20 with the signing of the official transfer document. Outgoing Director General Fadilou Keïta and interim successor Amadou Lamine Guissé spent hours meticulously reviewing and revising the document, delaying its finalization. The prolonged process was due to disagreements over the definitive version of the handover report, requiring numerous observations and additions. Despite Amadou Lamine Guissé already being installed and sworn in before the Commission de surveillance de la CDC, the formal transfer of files remained incomplete. The core issue revolved around the handover report itself, which details the financial and operational status of the institution – including finances, commitments, assets, and human resources – and clearly defines each director’s responsibilities. The thorough verification process, overseen by financial inspectors, was crucial given the CDC's management of significant funds and regulated deposits.
