Key Takeaways
Despite facing global economic challenges, the BRVM has continued to attract portfolio investors due to the stability of the CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro. The stock exchange has also seen an increase in foreign investor participation, particularly in sovereign debt issuance. One of the key topics at the Investment Days will be the role of green finance in Africa’s economic development. The region is looking to attract capital into renewable energy, infrastructure, and sustainable industries. Similarly, Islamic finance is emerging as an alternative funding source for large-scale projects, and discussions will explore how WAEMU can leverage cooperation with the UK and Gulf countries. With interest in African capital markets growing, BRVM’s outreach to London investors underscores its ambition to deepen liquidity and improve market transparency to compete with larger exchanges on the continent.
