interest, including telecommunications, financial services, agriculture and energy. BRVM
Investment Days also aims to enhance regional integration and highlight the economic

BRVM CEO, Dr Edoh Kossi Amenounve, emphasising the significant success of the BRVM,
explained why the time was right to invest in the region. “The BRVM experienced a second
successive year of improvement and cemented its position as the fifth largest stock exchange
in Africa. The positive development in our overall market capitalisation strengthened the
BRVM’s weight in the regional economy, as it is now approximately 15.12% of GDP, compared to
9.17% in 2012. Indeed, the BRVM offers returns of more than 8% on the stock market and of
around 6% on the bond market, which is attracting an increasing number of investors.”
Following the conference, on 9 April, thematic high-level meetings focused on Green Finance
and Islamic Finance will take place.
BRVM Investment Days 2025 is the premier event for institutional investors, investment advisors,
corporate advisors and bankers, political and economic authorities and market players in the
WAEMU as well as the Diaspora.
Previous editions in Paris, New York, Dubai and Johannesburg gathered around a hundred
investors and financiers in each city and were highly successful.
