CGF Bourse – Investment and Brokerage
CGF Bourse Inc. is an investment and brokerage firm created within the framework of the BRVM (West African regional stock exchange) of the WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union). We spoke to them about how they speed up access of African businesses to modern financing methods.
Today’s financial activity is based, above all, on an increasing reliance on capital markets. For their investments, large companies are now financing themselves more efficiently by issuing stocks and bonds on the Regional Financial Market. CGF Bourse became the first Senegalese investment and brokerage firm (IBF) to receive a license, in April of 1998.
CGF Bourse became, in February, 2005, the first West African IBF certified ISO 9001 version 2000 for all of its activities, especially for financial engineering, stock and bond issues and private placements. With this certification, CGF Bourse opened the era of a new vision which requires a sustainable high level quality service to its clients and partners.
We believe we have what it takes to service our clients, thanks to our specialized services in:
• Stocks and bonds issues

CGF Bourse is also active in consulting and financial engineering for corporations, financial institutions and governments.

The financial engineering department of CGF Bourse offers financial advisory services with competence and professionalism in the areas of arrangements, banking syndications and business restructuring.
