Mali has raised 33 billion CFA francs from the regional financial market after exceeding its initial 30 billion CFA francs target in a Treasury Bills and Bonds issuance organized by UMOA-Titres on Wednesday.
The operation attracted total bids of over 52 billion CFA francs, representing an overall coverage rate of 174.57 percent, while an absorption rate of 63.01 percent reflected a selective acceptance of offers. For the 364-day Treasury Bills, only 13.324 billion CFA francs was retained from 33 billion CFA francs submitted by 12 participants, with marginal and weighted average rates standing at 6.90 percent and 6.8325 percent respectively, and a weighted average yield of 7.34 percent.
All offers were accepted for the bonds segment, with 3-year Treasury Bonds raising 15.675 billion CFA francs at a marginal price of 92 percent and an average yield of 9.11 percent, while 5-year bonds generated 4 billion CFA francs at a marginal price of 93.50 percent and a yield of 7.89 percent.
Côte d’Ivoire emerged as the largest subscriber with 8.435 billion CFA francs, followed by Mali with 7.542 billion CFA francs and Senegal with 2 billion CFA francs, alongside participation from Benin, Burkina Faso and Togo.
The securities will be settled on December 26, 2025, with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2030, as UEMOA member states continue to rely on the regional market to finance public spending and development priorities.
