BGFI Holding launches 80.5 billion FCFA capital increase

BGFI Holding Corporation has launched the second phase of its capital increase through a public offering, aiming to raise 80.558 billion FCFA. The operation, which opened on September 15, 2026, and is scheduled to run until October 15, involves the issuance of 1,006,975 new shares at a unit price of 80,000 FCFA.

The primary objective of this phase is to increase the public's share of the company's capital from approximately 3.85% to 10%. This follows a successful first phase in November 2025, which raised 45.325 billion FCFA from 7,601 investors across 24 countries.

Managed by BGFIBourse and EDC Investment Corporation, the operation has received approval from the Central African Financial Market Supervisory Commission (COSUMAF). Beyond strengthening the banking group's equity and financial capacity, the move is intended to improve the liquidity of its shares on the Central African Stock Exchange (BVMAC) and support regional economic financing.
