Thunderclap on the international bond market. The West African Development Bank (BOAD) has just signed a historic operation: one billion euros raised over 15 years, the longest maturity ever issued by an African multilateral development bank. Result: an overcharged order book of 2.7 billion euros, a tight spread of 35 basis points, and a final coupon of 6.25%. Unprecedented for the Lom\u00e9 institution, and a strong signal to global markets.<\/p>\n<p>In a financial climate still marked by volatility, this spectacular performance illustrates the regained credibility of the BOAD signature and the investors&#8217; faith in the stability of the UEMOA. Major European funds rushed to the West African paper: 49% of the final allocation goes to the United Kingdom and Ireland, followed by the DACH region (23%), the United States (13%), continental Europe (10%), the Middle East (4%), and Asia (1%). Asset managers dominate demand (74%), followed by hedge funds (14%), banks (7%), and pension funds and central banks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This operation is more than a financial success: it is a clear recognition of the credibility of the BOAD and its model,&#8221; said Serge Eku\u00e9, President of the Bank. &#8220;It strengthens our capacity to finance the sustainable development of our member states and push the boundaries of what is possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Supported by a leading syndicate &#8211; BNP Paribas, JP Morgan, Natixis, and SMBC &#8211; the transaction elevates the BOAD to the rank of African benchmark issuers in the euro market. The funds raised will be directed towards structuring and long-term projects in the eight countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union: energy, infrastructure, digitalization, and climate resilience.<\/p>\n<p>A historic milestone for Lom\u00e9. A continental pride. And, above all, proof that in 2025, Africa is no longer just inspiring confidence: it is capitalizing on it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lom\u00e9, October 9, 2025.
