Investing in UEMOA money market bonds
A bond is a debt security. Buying a bond is equivalent to lending money to the issuer of the bond (a government, bank, local authority, public company or private company) in return for a predetermined return. The face value of a bond on the financial market is 10,000 CFA francs.
Profile
Financial market bonds are long-term securities: 5, 7, 10 years and longer. Bonds are issued through a public offering (open to the general public) or by private placement (reserved for a limited number of pre-defined investors) on the WAEMU financial market. They can be purchased on the primary market or on the secondary market.
Bonds are a stable long-term investment. They provide a regular income stream with a risk of loss that is often manageable.
In the WAEMU region, bond yields can range from over 5.5% to over 7% per annum.
Whether you are an individual or a company based in the EU, or a non-resident investor, you can purchase bonds on the regional financial market.
