Presidency of FANAF
Two days before the vote to decide between gabonese César Ekomié-Aféné and Cameroonian Téophile Moulong, the maneuvers continue behind the scenes. The Gabonese candidate appeared in the foreground in the brochure distributed by NSIA at the NSIA dinner, held on February 18 at the Nomad hotel complex. The 500 guests listened to the candidate and cut the cake of the 25th anniversary of NSIA in a festive atmosphere in the presence of all the insurance barons. For his part, Théophile Moulong held several consultations in small committees. Both candidates are confident. To be continued.

Microinsurance is stalling 
The framework on microinsurance is still far from expectations according to the findings of CIMA and operators. Only one accreditation was awarded out of 14 files. According to a CIMA survey, 46% of stakeholders find accreditation to be a major obstacle. In addition, 15% focus on the non-dematerialization of the premium. Worryingly, 73% of those who do not have approvals still plan to do so.

Aveni Ré maintains its capital increase objectives

It should be noted that the reinsurer based in Lomé has a new PCA in the person of Blaise Abel Ezo'o Engolo, who is also president of the Decision-Making Body of the National Bureau of the CEMAC Pink Card.
