Guinea-Bissau successfully raised 15 billion FCFA on the West African Economic and Monetary Union regional public securities market through a combined issuance of Treasury bills and bonds.
According to UMOA-Titres, the operation attracted strong investor interest, with total bids reaching nearly 19.82 billion FCFA—an oversubscription rate of 132.16%, reflecting demand well above the amount offered.
The issuance included 350-day Treasury bills and three-year Treasury bonds.
The bills recorded 8.432 billion FCFA in bids, with 3.609 billion FCFA retained, while the bond tranche drew 11.391 billion FCFA, all of which was accepted.
Investors from across the union, including Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal and Burkina Faso, participated in the operation.
The successful fundraising underscores Guinea-Bissau’s continued access to regional financing despite tightening conditions within the WAEMU market.
