Ten months after relocating BVMAC to Cameroon, Central Africa’s stock exchange is currently on track to implement policies on stock exchange listing requirements for companies. While the coronavirus crisis is delaying the process, Jean-Claude Ngbwa thinks it’s only a matter of time before the changes will move forward. In spite of BVMAC’s recent makeover and transparency requirements, he is confident that companies will find the stock exchange appealing and asserts that BVMAC is an essential tool for sub-regional integration.
