In December 2025, the Development Bank of Central African States (BDEAC) repaid a total of CFA53.3 billion to investors on the Central African Stock Exchange (BVMAC), based in Douala, Cameroon. According to BVMAC, the payments relate to the 2020–2027 and 2021–2028 bond issues launched by the sub-regional financial institution on the unified financial market.
The first repayment, linked to the 2021–2028 bond, was made on December 8, 2025. It amounted to CFA28.1 billion, including CFA5.1 billion in interest. The second repayment took place on December 31, 2025, under the 2020–2027 public bond offering, for a total of CFA21.3 billion, including nearly CFA3.5 billion in interest.
Since its entry into the unified financial market of the CEMAC countries in 2020—Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, and the Central African Republic—BDEAC has established itself as the leading payer to BVMAC investors, supported by six listed bond lines.
In 2023, for example, investors active on the market received CFA76.5 billion in interest income from their various investments. Of this total, 74.5%, or CFA57 billion, was paid by BDEAC. Interest rates offered by the bank on its bond issues on the Douala exchange have so far ranged between 4.7% and 6.2%.
