The Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) renews its 2021 refinancing facilities for Relance Bonds and Support and Resilience Bonds issued by UEMOA member states, extending eligibility to all 2022 issuances. Banks may mobilize resources against these bonds on dedicated windows for six months at the minimum BCEAO auction bid rate, with Support and Resilience Bonds refinanced within 30 days of issuance upon request. Both bond categories remain eligible for standard refinancing windows alongside these renewed dedicated facilities.
