The Securities and Exchange Commission of Central Africa held the fifth session of the Permanent Consultation Framework for the Central African Financial Market on June 9 and 10 in Yaounde, Cameroon. The meeting served as a regional coordination forum for regulators, community institutions, issuers, intermediaries, investors and other market professionals, with discussions focused on the state and outlook of the regional capital market, operational issues affecting market participants, and ways to strengthen the common regulatory framework. The session concentrated on measures to support development and consolidation of the Central African financial market. Topics included recent market developments and growth levers, institutional and professional exchanges aimed at clarifying constraints and expectations, and regulatory strengthening to improve harmonisation, legal certainty and investor protection. COSUMAF said the discussions would feed into its strategic work and support more coherent regional action, including adapting rules to market change, supporting financial innovation and improving implementation of reforms. The orientations identified during the session are expected to inform the authority's next actions under its strategic priorities, notably further harmonisation of the regional market framework, expansion of financial literacy and the investor base, modernisation and security of market infrastructure, and stronger market attractiveness.
