BCEAO Advisory No. 005-04-2025 on Lifting Temporary Accounting and Prudential Measures for Niger Government Bond Exposures
The Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) lifts temporary accounting and prudential measures for credit institutions' exposures to Niger government bonds, effective April 15, 2025. Credit institutions must now apply the standard provisions of Instruction No. 026-11-2016 to all Niger sovereign bond exposures, replacing the temporary framework established by Advisory No. 002-01-2024. This regulatory update normalizes capital and accounting treatment for these exposures, aligning them with existing UMOA prudential standards.
