BVMAC : BGFI Holding Announces a 2,500 FCFA Dividend and Accelerates Capital Opening

Inside the modern venue hosting BGFI Holding Corporation’s general meeting in Libreville, the atmosphere alternated between financial discipline and strategic ambition. Shareholders, executives and institutional partners followed the presentation of the group’s 2025 results in a context marked by the bank’s gradual consolidation within the regional financial market.

At the end of the meeting, the banking group approved the payment of a gross dividend of 2,500 FCFA per share. The decision reflects the strong financial performance recorded during the past fiscal year and confirms the group’s ability to generate consistent returns for shareholders in a rapidly evolving regional banking environment.

At the same time, management announced a major strategic direction: the gradual increase of the company’s free float to 10% of total capital. This move is intended to improve the liquidity of the stock on the BVMAC and promote broader shareholder participation, with the group now counting more than 7,800 investors.

During discussions with shareholders, the initiative was presented as an important step toward modernizing the group’s governance structure. Expanding the shareholder base is also expected to contribute to the development of the regional stock market, which continues to face low trading volumes across several listed securities.

The group’s 2025 financial performance provided the foundation for these decisions. BGFI highlighted the strength of its financial fundamentals and the growth of its operations across several Central African countries, reinforcing its position as a key player in the regional banking industry.

In financial circles in Libreville and Douala, the dividend announcement has been perceived as a positive signal to the market. With an estimated yield close to 3%, the stock is increasingly viewed as one of the attractive banking securities on the regional exchange, despite an environment still characterized by limited liquidity.

This momentum is aligned with the ambitions of the “BGFI 2030” strategic plan, which aims to strengthen the group’s transformation, regional expansion and digital modernization, while consolidating its position as a leading financial institution in Central Africa.

At the close of the general meeting, management reaffirmed its commitment to creating long-term value for shareholders and supporting the group’s expansion in an increasingly competitive and regulated African banking landscape.
