Calculate a yield
Indicative simulation. The rates are the ones you enter, and the actual terms of an issue are set at the auction session or in the offering document, then communicated before any subscription. The calculation uses a 365-day basis, applies the intermediation fee you enter plus VAT at 19.25%, and reflects the tax treatment you select, without presuming your personal situation. It does not account for a sale before maturity outside the tab provided for that purpose. This simulation constitutes neither an offer, nor personalised investment advice, nor tax advice.
Where this market comes from
The regional government securities market is recent. Its history explains the role regional savings play in it today.
2011
A regional market opens
The BEAC establishes a market where the states of the zone raise funds by auction. Cameroon enters first, in November 2011, followed by the Central African Republic, Gabon, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and then Congo in February 2017.
2017
Market funding takes over
The BEAC monetary policy committee, meeting on 22 March 2017, agrees to phase out advances to national treasuries, reducing the statutory advance ceilings by one tenth each year. The government securities market becomes the framework through which states raise the resources needed to cover their financing requirements.
