On Wednesday, November 9, 2022, a panel organized by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) took place, on the sidelines of COP 27. The Director General of the Regional Securities Exchange (BRVM) and President of the Association of African Exchanges (ASEA) participated in this panel with the aim of promoting sustainable finance in Africa.

“Accelerating Sustainable Finance in Africa”. This is the theme of the panel during which Edoh Kossi AMENOUNVE had the opportunity to present the unique BRVM model as well as the African Stock Exchanges (AELP) interconnection project. During the discussions, he shared his vision for sustainable finance in Africa, especially the opportunity it offers to attract capital to the continent that seeks to invest in projects that preserve the environment and focus on gender, the elimination of social inequalities and financial inclusion.

In reality, this cooperation has three goals. These include assistance for the creation of sustainable finance markets and instruments, the implementation of double listing between Luxembourg and the BRVM for green and social bonds, and support in training professionals and regional financial market players on sustainability issues.
