WAEMU Government Securities market

The Government Securities market is the only local market, by tender, exclusively dedicated to the financing of the WAEMU Member States. These sovereign issuers seek, through appropriate procedures, the issuances of Government Securities by specific actors, either for their own account or for that of third parties. This is held by Agence UMOA-Titres.

WAEMU Government Securities Benefits

  • No payment  defaults since its creation
  • An attractive risk / return ratio
