This marks a major turning point for the BGFIBank Group. The leading bank in the region is set to be listed on the BVMAC, according to statements by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Henri-Claude Oyima, reported by Forbes Afrique (Issue 43, October 2019) in an exclusive interview.

“As you know, we were recently rated and received an A+ rating with a stable outlook. I will take this opportunity to inform you that, as early as 2020, our banking group will be listed on the BVMAC. I invite all other regional champions to follow in our footsteps in order to enhance the visibility of this financial marketplace,” Mr. Oyima stated in response to questions from Michel Lobe Ewané, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Afrique.

In the view of the CEO of the Gabonese-origin bank, “the spark and momentum must come from regional champions. The BGFI Bank Group is fully committed to t

his approach. Regional players must be able to assess and seize all the opportunities offered by the BVMAC.”

With the forthcoming listing of the BGFI Group, the Central African unified stock exchange, BVMAC, is expected to gain increased visibility and credibility among both regional and international market participants.
