As a DFI, we play an important role in demonstrating the potential for securitisations to address the financing gap in some African countries. That's why we co-anchored a public bond issuance with IFC - International Finance Corporation and Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement to help NSIA Banque Bénin expand its MSME loan portfolio across Benin, Senegal, and Togo. The $90m bond was issued by Keur Samba, BOAD's securitisation special purpose vehicle, and secured by a pool of loans purchased from NSIA Banque Benin. With a total of $53m in anchor investments, the bond was oversubscribed by 15%, raising the remainder from local and regional investors, including banks, individual investors, pension funds, and insurance companies. The African securitisation market is nascent. This is BII’s first bank securitisation on the continent and the market’s first-ever securitisation with a bank in Benin – a milestone in deepening regional capital markets and unlocking long-term, local currency funding for the economy.
