Togo Raises CFA38.5 Billion Through Umoa-Titres

(Togo First) - Togo raised 38.5 billion CFA francs on the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) regional financial market on Friday, exceeding its initial target of 35 billion CFA francs.

The operation combined a simultaneous issuance of Treasury bills (BATs) and Treasury bonds (OATs). According to official results reviewed by Togo First, total bids reached 89.4 billion CFA francs, resulting in a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.55x, reflecting sustained investor interest in Togolese government securities across the sub-region.

Of the total amount raised, 5 billion CFA francs came from three-year OATs carrying a fixed interest rate of 6.15%. Five-year OATs brought in 27 billion CFA francs at an annual yield of 6.35%, while seven-year securities, issued at a rate of 6.50%, accounted for the remaining 6.5 billion CFA francs.

With this latest operation, Togo has raised a cumulative 181.5 billion CFA francs on the Umoa-Titres market since the start of 2026. That figure represents nearly 40% of the country's annual financing target of 463.5 billion CFA francs, set to support the implementation of the state budget, with both revenues and expenditures projected at 2.751 trillion CFA francs.
