Our Takeaway

Africa is home to the only stock markets in the world shared by several countries: the BRVM and the BVMAC (Bourse des valeurs mobilières de l’Afrique centrale). They serve the 14 French-speaking African countries in the WAEMU and CEMAC unions respectively. The regional stock exchanges—which are integrated into the MSCI and S&P Dow Jones Indices, and run totally in digital format—operate on the CFA Franc, the common currency for all the member states. The currency is pegged to the current French currency (Euro), offering foreign exchange stability to investors in the country.
