By Professor Amath Ndiaye, FASEG-UCAD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, a part of the African public opinion has been led to believe that the operations account held at the French Treasury represented a kind of money “confiscated” by France. This perception does not stand up to recent facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the BEAC – central bank of the CEMAC – received 196.7 billion CFA francs in interest on its reserves placed at the French Treasury, an increase of 358% compared to 2022. These returns are directly related to the rise in the ECB’s key rates, applied according to modalities set by monetary agreements (minimum guaranteed rate of 0.75% or 1%, with the application of the marginal lending facility rate when it is higher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, the operations account functions as a remunerated savings account, and not as an inaccessible safe deposit box: it generates income for the African central bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comparison with the UEMOA is enlightening: since the closure of its operations account in 2021, the BCEAO directly manages its external reserves, placing them in bank deposits, debt securities, and IMF assets, for a total return of 176.96 billion CFA francs in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures show that it is inaccurate to present the operations account as a deduction or a plundering: it is an investment, certainly regulated by agreements, but which generates significant income for African central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
