Dakar, July 16th 2025 – The State of Senegal has just achieved a new milestone on the regional financial market with the closing, on July 8th, 2025, of its second Public Offering (APE) of the year. Result: 364 billion FCFA raised, against an initial target of 300 billion, representing an impressive coverage rate of 121.3%. At the heart of this success, CGF BOURSE, lead manager of the operation, confirms its strategic role in mobilizing national savings for development.
A transformative operation led by a leading actor
Designed in a demanding economic context, this operation was structured by CGF BOURSE, in partnership with Société Générale Senegal (co-lead manager), once again demonstrating the ability of local financial market actors to lead significant fundraisings with confidence.
Thanks to the expertise of CGF BOURSE, the structure has successfully combined financial innovation, proximity to investors, and education around the concept of economic citizenship. This approach has not only rallied institutional investors, but also many individual savers, national economic actors, sub-regional investors, and especially the Senegalese Diaspora, which has significantly mobilized to contribute to this national financing effort.
A strong signal for the market and the future
This record fundraising of 364 billion FCFA exceeds expectations and illustrates not only the strength of the State of Senegal’s signature, but also the renewed confidence of citizens in the country’s economic prospects. In a dynamic of diversification of sources of financing, the success of the operation marks a turning point in the deepening of the sub-regional financial market.
Through this central role, CGF BOURSE confirms its status as an essential leader in the West African financial market, capable of efficiently orchestrating complex structures in service of national economic sovereignty.
Another step towards financial empowerment
By optimizing the profile of public debt and supporting the liquidity of the banking system, this operation contributes to active, responsible, and sustainable management of public finances. The initiative also fits into a logic of inclusion, giving citizens – at home and abroad – the opportunity to become direct actors in national development.
CGF BOURSE: at the heart of national mobilization and the diaspora
Through this new success, CGF BOURSE once again proves its capacity for innovation, its professional rigor, and its commitment to the common good. More than just a financial intermediary, the company positions itself as a true strategic partner of the State, serving structured, stable, and sovereign domestic financing.
