The Central African Financial Market Supervisory Commission and the Bank of France signed, on May 18, 2026, a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening financial education in the CEMAC area. The agreement provides for the sharing of expertise and educational tools for the benefit of the populations of six Central African countries.
Cooperation between the Bank of France and COSUMAF has reached a new stage. On the occasion of a study visit organized in Paris, the two institutions formalized, on May 18, 2026, a partnership focused on the development of financial literacy in the CEMAC zone.
This agreement aims to support a better understanding of financial mechanisms by the populations of Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad. In a context marked by increasing financing needs and expanded access to financial products, the two partners intend to promote more accessible and educational information.
The agreement notably provides for the sharing of experiences around national financial education strategies, access to educational resources developed by the Bank of France, as well as sustainable technical cooperation between the two institutions.
For COSUMAF, this initiative is part of a broader approach to modernizing and democratizing the regional financial market. The stated goal is to strengthen transparency, investor confidence, and financial inclusion within CEMAC.
