Republic of the Congo sovereign bond listing on Nasdaq Dubai

Overview

The Republic of the Congo has become the first African nation to list sovereign bonds on Nasdaq Dubai. This secondary listing involves two issuances totaling $1.55 billion: $700 million in amortizing notes due in 2035 and $850 million due in 2036, both carrying a 9.500% coupon.

Previously listed on the London Stock Exchange, these bonds are now available on the Dubai exchange to increase liquidity and attract a broader range of Middle Eastern and global institutional investors, including banks and corporations. The move is part of a financial strategy to replace short-term debt with longer-term loans and restore investor confidence. The operation also serves to deepen financial cooperation between the Republic of the Congo and the United Arab Emirates following a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
