The BGFIBank Group, through its parent company BGFI Holding Corporation, is once again distinguished by its financial management, with the enhancement of its long-term rating by the pan-African agency Bloomfield Investment. This improvement reflects the renewed confidence of rating agencies in the Group's governance model, its development strategy, as well as the solidity and sustainability of its performances.

Passed from A+ to AA-, this evolution reflects the renewed confidence of rating agencies in the governance model, development strategy and sustainable performance of the BGFIBank Group.

The upgrade of BGFI Holding Corporation's rating is based on several key factors:

The rigorous execution of the 2025 DYNAMIC Corporate Project, whose results exceed the initial consolidated financial projections;

The continuous improvement of performance indicators for the 2025 financial year, testifying to sustainable growth at the Group level;

The resumption of dividend distribution within banking institutions in the CEMAC zone, a sign of the gradual normalization of the post-COVID crisis regulatory framework;

A significant increase in the net income of the holding company, supported by an increased capacity to generate solid cash flows, in particular thanks to the dividends received from its subsidiaries.

A rating that reinforces the ambition of the BGFIBank Group

This upward revision also reflects the continued commitment of the BGFIBank Group to strengthen its financial fundamentals, modernise its risk management systems, and consolidate its leading position in the African banking sector.
