The Development Bank of Central African States (BDEAC) reported net profit of CFA5.24 billion for the 2025 financial year, compared with CFA3.3 billion in 2024.
The results were approved on Thursday in Bangui during the institution’s annual general meeting chaired by Central African Republic Finance Minister Hervé Ndoba, current president of the assembly, in the presence of BDEAC President Dieudonné Evou Mekou.
According to the bank, the increase in profit reflects the impact of reforms introduced under its 2023–2027 strategic plan known as “Azobé.”
BDEAC also credited an emergency liquidity recovery plan for helping strengthen its financial position.
The improvement comes as the regional development bank continues to roll out its broader investment strategy across the CEMAC region.
The institution aims to mobilize about CFA1.7 trillion to finance major projects in infrastructure, energy, transport and agro-industry across Central Africa.
Based in Brazzaville, BDEAC is also trying to diversify its funding sources as regional financial conditions become tighter.
As part of that effort, the bank obtained its first international credit rating from Moody’s in November 2025. The agency assigned BDEAC a Ba3 rating with a stable outlook.
