\r\n \r\n Historique du March\u00e9 Financier R\u00e9gional <\/i>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

At the start of the 1990s, the increasingly liberalization of the economies of the West African monetary zone required an adaptation of the mechanisms of regulation of the economy, in particular the use of indirect instruments of money management and mobilization of the saving. The creation of a common financial space for all the countries of the WAMU sub-region appeared to be a means of strengthening regional integration for the development of trade between member countries. In addition, the establishment of a regional financial market in West Africa was already included in the treaty of November 14, 1973 constituting the West African Monetary Union (WAMU). In 1991, the monetary authorities of the sub-region began discussions with a view to the establishment of a single and efficient financial market for all the countries of the Union. This preparatory work for the creation of a regional financial market in West Africa was carried out at the initiative of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) with the support of the World Bank, of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the French Development Agency (AFD). This work was based on the Abidjan Stock Exchange (BVA) created in 1974 by C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

On December 17, 1993, the Council of Ministers of the WAMU decided on the creation of a regional financial market and gave the (BCEAO) a mandate to lead the conceptual phase of the project. On December 18, 1996, that is to say 3 years later, the work led to the creation, in Cotonou, of the Regional Stock Exchange of Securities S.A. (BRVM) and the Central Depositary \/ Bank of Regulation S.A. (DC \/ BR). A few months earlier, on July 3, 1996, by decision of the UMOA Council of Ministers, the Financial Market Regulatory Authority of the West African Monetary Union (UMOA) was established under the name of the Regional Council for Public Savings and Financial Markets (CREPMF), before becoming in January 2023 the \"Financial Markets Authority of the UMOA\" (AMF-UMOA).<\/p>

These institutions did not actually start their activities until September 16, 1998, when the Regional Stock Exchange replaced the Abidjan Stock Exchange, already endowed with 35 companies whose quotation took off again on the basis of the last price.<\/p>

On the other hand, the organization is based on the concern of the UEMOA States to keep a right of control over the actors and the operations, in order to protect the savers, to direct the flow of capital and to protect the emerging market, with respect for the liberal economy. The functioning of the market is therefore shared between a public pole and a private pole.<\/p>

\r\n \r\n Conduct of the trading session <\/i>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

To improve market liquidity, the BRVM has moved to continuous listing since September 16, 2013. This listing method offers many opportunities to buy and sell a security during a trading day and provides real-time information. , the state of the market or of a value by establishing several courses. It enables rapid order execution and increases liquidity in the stock market. Unlike the fixing which establishes a single equilibrium price per day.<\/span><\/p>

The continuous trading session has 4 phases (pre-opening, continuous trading, pre-closing and last price trading), the sequences of which are as follows (in local time, GMT):<\/span><\/p>

\"\"9:00 a.m. \u2013 9:45 a.m.: Pre-opening phase: Accumulation of orders<\/span><\/h5>

During the pre-opening phase, orders entered by management and intermediation companies (SGI) in the BRVM quotation system are recorded in the central order book without giving rise to transactions.<\/span><\/p>

The Central Order Book, the theoretical opening price and the volumes likely to be traded at this price are updated each time an order is entered into the system and are broadcast in real time.<\/span><\/p>

9.45 a.m .: Opening fix<\/span><\/h5>

On opening, the quotation system compares the orders for each security with a view to their matching. They thus proceed to the opening auction. At the start of the price determination phase, the Central Order Book is momentarily frozen while the matching algorithm is running. At this time, it is no longer possible to enter orders in the quotation system and orders already entered cannot be modified or canceled.<\/span><\/p>

If the match is made within the dynamic authorized reservation thresholds, an opening price is established and disseminated to the market. On the other hand, if the pairing is made outside the dynamic reservation thresholds, the value concerned is reserved for a period, the duration of which is set by instruction from the BRVM. An opening price is determined at the end of the reservation period if the requirements are met.<\/span><\/p>

The opening price is the last theoretical price before the match. In the absence of an opening fixing price, the opening price is the reference price.The reference price is the closing price of the last trading session adjusted in the case of a Corporate Action (for example, in the event of payment of dividends, capital transactions, etc.).<\/span><\/p>

Orders are executed in the Central Order Book in application of the principle of execution priority defined by instruction from the BRVM.<\/span><\/p>

9:45 a.m. \u2013 2:00 p.m .: Continuous negotiation<\/span><\/h5>

Once the opening auction has been completed, the continuous trading phase begins until the pre-close.<\/span><\/p>

All orders not executed or remaining after the opening auction are transferred to the continuous trading phase.<\/span><\/p>

During this phase, it is possible to register, modify or cancel the orders. Each new order recorded is immediately compared to the orders available in the opposite direction in the Central Order Book, in order to check whether its execution is possible. Orders already in the order book determine the execution price. Transactions are carried out as and when the counterparties allow it.<\/span><\/p>

Orders are executed in the Central Order Book in application of the principle of execution priority defined by the BRVM Instruction.<\/span><\/p>

2 p.m. \u2013 2:30 p.m .: Pre-closing<\/span><\/h5>

The pre-close phase occurs after the continuous negotiation phase. The orders entered are automatically recorded in the Central Order Book without giving rise to transactions. The Central Order Book, the theoretical closing price and the volumes likely to be traded at this price are updated each time an order is entered into the system and are broadcast in real time.<\/span><\/p>

2:30 p.m .: Closing fix<\/span><\/h5>

The closing auction process is identical to that described for the opening auction<\/span><\/p>

The closing price is the price resulting from the closing auction. If a closing auction price could not be determined, the closing price is the price of the last transaction carried out during the continuous trading phase. The closing price is the opening auction price or the reference price, in the absence of transactions during the continuous trading phase.<\/span><\/p>

The orders of the central Order Book are executed in application of the principle of execution priority defined by Instruction of the BRVM<\/span><\/p>

2:30 p.m. \u2013 3 p.m .: Negotiation at the last price<\/span><\/h5>

The last price negotiation phase takes place after the closing auction. During this phase, it is possible to enter only orders against existing orders for the residual quantity. Orders are executed only at the closing price.<\/span><\/p>

3 p.m. -15.15 p.m .: Market surveillance<\/span>
3.15 p.m .: Market closes<\/span><\/h5>

After the negotiation phase at the last price, the BRVM closes the market and adjusts it, in particular in the event of cancellation of transactions. SGIs can no longer enter, modify or cancel orders. At the end of the adjustment, the market is made official. No changes can be made.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
