Taux d’intérêt en baisse et activité industrielle en hausse dans l’UEMOA

In June 2025, the West African Economic and Monetary Union's interbank market saw a slight increase in trade, estimated at 0.3%. At the same time, the average interest rate applied between banks fell to 4.94%, reflecting slightly smoother access to liquidity in a relatively relaxed monetary environment.

This development is part of a regional economic situation marked by several positive signals. Inflation was generally under control, with a negative monthly variation of 0.2%, helping to preserve purchasing power and limit price pressures. At the same time, industrial activity grew significantly, with an increase of 12.1%, illustrating a restart of production in several Member States.

The combination of these factors reflects a form of macroeconomic stability, which allows financial institutions to adjust their positions more predictably. The interconnectedness of banks within this interbank framework remains a key indicator of the health of the regional financial system, while also providing a detailed reading of expectations regarding the BCEAO's monetary policy.

This upturn in activity, although modest, reinforces the trend towards post-crisis normalization, but also calls for monitoring of disparities between member countries and structural vulnerabilities that could resurface in the event of an external shock.
