<\/div>

Abidjan, June 2025 – Following its latest assessment, Bloomfield Investment Corporation has confirmed the long-term rating of Bank of Africa C\u00f4te d’Ivoire (BOA CI) at A+, with a stable outlook, and maintained its short-term rating at A1-, while upgrading its outlook from stable to positive. This rating reflects the financial strength of the bank in an environment characterized by a tightening of the BCEAO’s monetary policy.<\/p>\n

A dynamic banking environment despite a stricter monetary context<\/p>\n

The Rating Committee notes that the Ivorian banking sector continues to grow, despite the increase in key rates by the BCEAO – with a weekly call rate raised to 3.50% and a marginal lending rate to 5.50% since December 2023. In this more demanding environment, BOA CI has effectively implemented its 2022-2024 strategic plan, consolidating its market positions.<\/p>\n

A growing commercial dynamic<\/p>\n

Between 2022 and 2024, BOA CI recorded a significant increase in its market shares:<\/p>\n

– Jobs: 3.56% (2022), 4.32% (2023), 4.00% (2024), moving from 11th to 10th place;
\n– Resources: 4.23% (2022), 5.22% (2023), 5.00% (2024), from 8th to 7th place.<\/p>\n

The balance sheet transformation strategy has also paid off. The share of the Retail segment in the balance sheet rose to 34.8%, exceeding the target of 27.5%, while the Corporate segments decreased to 65.2%, better than the target of 72.5%.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the rate of digitalization of operations has significantly increased, from 56% in 2022 to 68% in 2024. The Trade Finance activity also shows satisfactory performance.<\/p>\n

Solid financial indicators at the end of 2024<\/p>\n

Despite more constrained access to BCEAO refinancing, BOA CI reduced its interbank debts by 28%, brought down to 76.3 billion FCFA, thanks to a 20% increase in client collection.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2024:<\/p>\n

– Net Banking Income (NBI): 72.7 billion FCFA (+20% vs 2023);
\n– Customer interest margin: 25.1 billion FCFA (vs 21.9 billion in 2023);
\n– Placement margin: 15.1 billion FCFA (vs 16.2 billion);
\n– Operating ratio: 36.73% (vs 48.47% in 2022), below the group standard of 50%;
\n– Net profit: 32.0 billion FCFA (+23%), exceeding forecasts;
\n– Return on Assets (RoA): 5.39% (vs 4.55%);
\n– Return on Equity (RoE): 39.76% (vs 37.40%);
\n– Net margin rate: 44.06% (vs 42.88%).<\/p>\n

An increase in credit risk costs<\/p>\n

The Committee, however, highlights a 41% increase in credit risk costs, linked to the establishment of additional provisions (+3.15 billion FCFA) and losses on irrecoverable receivables (+1.1 billion FCFA).<\/p>\n

Outlook and points of vigilance<\/p>\n

BOA CI complies with all prudential requirements in force in the UMOA. However, Bloomfield questions the absence of integration of the Retail segment in the internal rating of commitments, limiting a detailed evaluation of credit risk. The agency also announces a special monitoring of certain innovative financial products such as LOA and the “72” loan.<\/p>\n

The Bloomfield analyst team will ensure continuous monitoring of the rating and keep the Committee informed of any significant developments.<\/p>\n
