概要
 Six Central African countries share one central bank, one currency pegged to the euro and one stock exchange, the BVMAC, which has seven listed companies. Gabon's BGFI Holding listed in May and the market's equity value rose from about 478 billion CFA francs at the end of 2025 to 1.78 trillion by Nov. 11, 2026. This episode explains how the bloc works, what the oil shock did to its reserves, and what to watch as new IMF programmes wait on a regional review. What we coverCEMAC's six members (Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon) had 67.8 million people and a combined GDP of $132.7 billion in 2025; hydrocarbons are about 70% of exports (World Bank).The Central African CFA franc is fixed at 655.957 per euro. When oil prices fell by about half from mid-2014 to end-2016, BEAC reserves fell from 5.7 months of imports to 1.9, and from $18.2 billion in 2013 to $4.2 billion in 2016 (IMF).On Sept. 28, 2026, the BEAC held its main rate at 4.50% after a June cut from 4.75%, put reserves at 4.53 months of imports, and forecast 3.0% growth for 2026 with inflation at 2.2% (BEAC via Gabonreview).The BVMAC had six listed companies at end-2025. BGFI Holding listed on May 7, 2026, and raised about 125.9 billion CFA francs over two phases; on Nov. 11 the market's shares were worth 1.78 trillion CFA francs, and 33 bonds were listed with 1.37 trillion outstanding (BVMAC).Only Chad has an active IMF loan programme among the six. A review of the bloc's regional commitments, suspended since December 2025, could be approved in December; Gabon targets a staff-level agreement by end-2026 (Business in Cameroon; Reuters).
