This financial performance illustrates the capacity of the stock exchange to secure and valorize institutional and private savings within the community space.
The bulk of this financial windfall comes from the bond segment, which represents the majority of the common stock exchange's capitalization.
Driven by public and private debt servicing, issuers have thus paid 99.4 billion FCFA in interest to creditors, up more than 28% compared to the previous exercise, while also settling over 270 billion FCFA in principal repayments. In parallel, the equity market is rekindling a notable distribution dynamic: allocated dividends reached 3.415 billion FCFA, driven by strong returns delivered by leading industrial and banking stocks, such as Safacam and Socapalm.
This improvement in distributed income is accompanied by notable price appreciations on the secondary market, materialized by the progression of the general stock index. Although overall liquidity remains improvable, the progressive broadening of the list, energized by new admissions and a pipeline of upcoming IPOs, reinforces the central role of BVMAC in financing the economies of the CEMAC zone and the remuneration of investor confidence.
