The public securities market in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) displayed contrasting dynamics during the first half of 2024, marked by a drop in fundraising and a significant increase in repayments.

Recent data indicates that the total amounts mobilized reached 3794 billion CFA (6.26 billion dollars), representing a decrease of 7.62% compared to the previous year over the same period. This contraction in mobilizations is mainly due to a 33.56% reduction in the issuance of comparable Treasury bonds (OATs), which amounted to 1299 billion CFA francs. However, this decrease was partially mitigated by a 16% increase in the issuance of assimilable treasury bills (BAT), which reached more than 2494 billion FCFA. The total number of auctions fell slightly to 90, a decrease of 1.10%
