00:02:26all firms, all professionals, must
00:02:30individually accept the

00:08:24The weather was brought to you by Bank of
00:08:27Africa Congo, Bank of Africa, the
00:08:31strength of a group.
00:09:11Brazzaville on August 6 and 7, 2026, a
00:09:15series of board meetings of the subsidiaries of the
00:09:18BGF Bank group from the CEAC zone, Congo,
00:09:22Cameroon, RCA and DRC, in the presence of the
00:09:25Chairman and CEO of the BG Fibank group, Henry Claude
00:09:29Oyima. The Board of Directors of BGF
00:09:33Bank Congo opened this series of strategic
00:09:35meetings under the high patronage of its chairman
00:09:38Jean-Dominique Okemba. The objective is to evaluate
00:09:42along the way, the business and subsidiary performance and to
00:09:46project strategic proposals for
00:09:48the future. Achieving good results is not the
00:09:52only ambition of BGF Bank Congo, it wants to be a
00:09:56bank that is always more resilient, more efficient, more innovative
00:09:59and more exemplary in terms of governance. Meeting
00:10:03to evaluate the results of the first half of 2026 and
00:10:07define the guidelines for the second half, the directors of
00:10:10BGF Bank Congo ensure the financial soundness of the
00:10:14bank and the preservation of the interests of customers,
00:10:17partners and shareholders.
00:10:20I would first of all like to thank
00:10:24you for your presence. and declare
00:10:27open this session of the
00:10:31Board of Directors
00:10:33dedicated to the examination of the
00:10:36accounts as at
00:10:39June 30, 2026.
00:10:42As at each of our meetings, we find
00:10:46ourselves in the exercise of an
00:10:49essential
00:10:51responsibility, that of ensuring
00:10:55the financial soundness of our
00:10:59institution, the quality of its
00:11:03governance
00:11:05and the lasting
00:11:08protection of the interests of our
00:11:10shareholders, our
00:11:13customers, our
00:11:15employees and all our
00:11:19partners. The first half of
00:11:212026 is part of a
00:11:25banking environment that is
00:11:28still demanding, marked by regulatory
00:11:32changes,
00:11:34the acceleration of digital
00:11:37transformations, increased vigilance
00:11:41on risks as well as
00:11:45increasingly sustained
00:11:48competition. Our collective responsibility
00:11:52consists less in noting the
00:11:55performance achieved than in appreciating their
00:11:58quality, their sustainability and their
00:12:02ability to prepare
00:12:05for the future. The various points on our
00:12:09agenda will allow us to exercise
00:12:13this mission fully, the
00:12:16follow-up of decisions taken during our previous
00:12:20session, the conclusions of the college of
00:12:24supervisors of the group, as well as the corrective
00:12:28measures proposed.
00:12:31The alignment of our strategy with the
00:12:35BGFI 2030
00:12:39vision,
00:12:42the work of our specialized committees
00:12:45which constitute the first level
00:12:48of control of the Board.
00:12:52The semi-annual financial results
00:12:56and the closing
00:12:59the financial year. I hope that our
00:13:02discussions remain, as always,
00:13:06frank, constructive and
00:13:09oriented towards the search for the best
00:13:13decisions.
00:13:15From this meeting, it emerges that the indicators of the first half are
00:13:19open for BGF Bank Congo, which continues its growth
00:13:22trajectory and reaffirms its commitment to
00:13:26financing the national economy. At the end of this
00:13:29meeting, the Chairman and CEO of the BGfu Bank Congo group, Henry Claude
00:13:33Oyima, spoke about the
00:13:36issues and economic scope of the listing of the
00:13:39institution on the Central African Securities Exchange
00:13:43(Bevmac). The results of BG
00:13:47Vibon Congo for the first half are
00:13:50in line with the budget and our forecasts for the year
00:13:532026. We will be beyond the
00:13:56budget, so we are absolutely delighted that BJ Bank Congo
00:14:00is resuming its rightful place. Uh, it is the first institution in
00:14:04the country, uh, that it continues to support, uh,
00:14:07economic operators, it continues to support institutions.
00:14:10The group has decided to go public. Uh, this is
00:14:14already very good news for the financial market of the sub-region. It
00:14:18is still the first financial group in the sub-region and it has now
00:14:21become the first capitalization of our financial market today,
00:14:25so it is an honor for all the employees of Groupg Fibank
00:14:29and also for our customers and our shareholders who trust
00:14:33us. So this is a first part, then we have a second
00:14:36part that we are currently setting up after the
00:14:39board and the general assembly that were held in Libreville. We
00:14:43have submitted the file to
00:14:47get the new
00:14:49number that
00:14:53launch the second part, which is more important than the
00:14:57first part. In the first part, we raised almost 45
00:15:00billion and in the second part, we plan to raise
00:15:0480 billion. Between mid-term performance assessment
00:15:07and achievement of year-end objectives, the Chairman of the
00:15:10Board of Directors relies on the proper execution of the
00:15:14adopted recommendations. The decisions we have just adopted
00:15:18bear witness to the Board's
00:15:21willingness to support
00:15:25the general management in pursuing controlled
00:15:29growth, based on demanding
00:15:32governance,
00:15:34prudent risk
00:15:37management and sustainable
00:15:40value creation. The examination of the
00:15:44semi-annual accounts allows us
00:15:48to appreciate the progress
00:15:51made, but it also
00:15:55reminds us that the results of the first
00:15:59half constitute only a
00:16:02stage. The real challenge
00:16:04remains the achievement of expected
00:16:08year-end objectives in permanent
00:16:11compliance with prudential and regulatory
00:16:14requirements and the group's
00:16:17governance standards. I therefore
00:16:21invite the general management to continue with
00:16:24determination the implementation of the guidelines
00:16:28adopted today, especially
00:16:30those relating to
00:16:34the execution of the aligned strategic plan.
00:16:37BGFI 2030, to the follow-up of
00:16:41recommendations from control bodies, to
00:16:44risk management, to
00:16:47strengthening the quality of assets,
00:16:51as well as to the continuous improvement of
00:16:54our operational
00:16:57efficiency.
00:16:59The Board will remain
00:17:01attentive to the effective
00:17:05implementation of the decisions
00:17:08adopted today, in accordance with its mission of
00:17:11strategic supervision. The
00:17:14Chairman of the Board of Directors of BGF Bank Congo, Jean-Dominique
00:17:18Okemba, invites all managers to work to
00:17:23ambition to offer each segment of its
00:17:26clientele adapted solutions and excellent service
00:17:30quality.
00:18:16Agriculture in its broadest sense is the central
00:18:19pillar of the economic diversification strategy, promoted
00:18:23by the President of the Republic Denis Sassou Nguesso. Faced with the
00:18:27country's dependence on oil, the head of state
00:18:30has made agriculture one of
00:18:33the absolute priorities of his development program. This
00:18:37political mission relies on mechanization in
00:18:41order to reduce the hardship of working the land, to keep
00:18:44rural populations and make agricultural trades
00:18:48attractive to young people.
00:18:50Ecokamaco, a mixed Sino-Congolese anonymous
00:18:53company, specialized in the assembly and manufacture
00:18:57of tractors and agricultural equipment,
00:19:00fully embraces the initiative of the head of state
00:19:03Denis Sassou Nguesso, who places mechanization at the heart of
00:19:07his agricultural policy. The factory is located in the
00:19:11Malouku industrial and
00:19:14the special economic zone, a factory designed to
00:19:18assemble 10 tractors per day, intended for
00:19:22the Congolese market, but also for export to
00:19:25Central Africa. Engineer Liu
00:19:28Zioj explains the process of the assembly
00:19:31line.
00:19:32
00:20:18are you ready for the 11th because on the 11th
00:20:22the president will come here to inaugurate the factory, are you
00:20:24ready?
00:20:31Okay, we have made all the preparations to
00:20:34welcome the president's visit. Yes,
00:20:37don't worry, everything is ready. We will do everything we
00:20:41can for the president's visit. The main
00:20:44objective pursued by Eco
00:20:48Kamaco CEO Willy and the case is to mechanize
00:20:51national agriculture in order to increase
00:20:54productivity and reduce food
00:20:57imports. Agricultural machinery engineer Eli
00:21:01Massomba calls on agricultural operators.
00:21:05We therefore received the tractors that came in disassembled parts
00:21:09and being in disassembled parts, we are therefore
00:21:12here to place all these disassembled parts on the assembly line. It is a
00:21:16line that has 11 workstations.
00:21:20And on the 11 workstations, uh, we
00:21:24also have three workstations towards the end, the workstations that are
00:21:27towards the end are the lubrication
00:21:30stations, that is to say, where we put the
00:21:33oils, the diesel and the water in
00:21:36the radiator, otherwise in total we have
00:21:4011 workstations. So
00:21:42when the tractors are in these 11 stations, how many
00:21:46have you already assembled here? We had assembled
00:21:4925 for professional
00:21:52purposes and there we are going to do a demonstration on the
00:21:5511th to also show that what we did upstream
00:21:59we can also do downstream in front of all the
00:22:02Congolese people so that they understand that from
00:22:05that day on we already have an assembly line for tractors and that very
00:22:09easily we can have a tractor assembled in Congo Brazzaville at Eco
00:22:12Kamaco. Yes, but how will
00:22:15the users, the farmers, be able to acquire tractors
00:22:19here? The buyers are mainly
00:22:22most of the people, he recommended us to have
00:22:25cooperatives, groups, each cooperative
00:22:28group that is not functioning well must
00:22:32have a bank account. When you already have your account, it means that
00:22:36you can benefit from a bank loan based
00:22:40on what you usually produce and then you add,
00:22:43it's really given the price, it's the tactic that will not
00:22:47be too expensive, it will be practically within reach of Congolese people
00:22:50who want to do agricultural mechanization well. Have you already tried these
00:22:54tractors with good capacity? Yes, we have
00:22:58three qualities of tractors here, the first quality is 75
00:23:01horsepower, then there are 100 horsepower and 120 horsepower,
00:23:04and so with that power, you are able to correctly mechanize
00:23:08agricultural work, whether it's, well, it all depends on the
00:23:12pedology. When you are in the plateau, it's sand, so any tractor
00:23:16can work in the plateau, but at the level of the buenza leuni, it's from
00:23:20horsepower and 120 horsepower and these tractors are also available at ikokamako
00:23:23here. So, uh, how do you appreciate
00:23:26the idea, the initiative of the President of the Republic to mechanize
00:23:32agriculture in a broad sense and which is based on
00:23:35mechanization and Eco
00:23:38Kamaco therefore embraces this idea of the President of the Republic by
00:23:41assembling tractors here
00:23:44at the special economic zone of Malouku? It's really
00:23:48a very commendable idea. Very, very commendable. I would like to
00:23:52take this opportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to His Excellency the President of the Republic
00:23:55for making available to us a gem of this kind which did not exist
00:23:59in practically many
00:24:02African countries. We don't have these things and the happiest
00:24:05are us, the Congolese, and what I can wish the
00:24:09President, and he will also ask us to make good use of it, but
00:24:12the idea, frankly, of setting up this factory in Congo Brazzaville, especially in
00:24:16Malouku here, is really very commendable. All congratulations. Because
00:24:20he has just given something that did not exist. We didn't think that
00:24:24we could have such factories in Congo Brazzaville. It's really a big congratulation and a big
00:24:28first for our republic. Yes, what is the appeal you can make to
00:24:31agricultural operators or the Ministry of
00:24:34Agriculture? Well, the appeal, the product is
00:24:38there, it's a product that is within our reach, that is at our
00:24:41disposal, so it's up to us to start making orders. We
00:24:45are already doing what we call a sample assembly and
00:24:49according to the demand... which will exceed the supply, you will see that all
00:24:52Congolese people will be able to have one each, even in the ministry, they
00:24:56will be equipped with tractors manufactured by
00:24:59Agriculture, through its appeals, imports
00:25:03tractors. Eco Kamaco already produces them and assembles them
00:25:06on site here. What is the message you can address to
00:25:10Agriculture? Well, to the Minister of
00:25:13Agriculture, I think that agriculture
00:25:17without mechanization does not yield results. So instead
00:25:20of having the hassle, as I said earlier, of customs,
00:25:24transport, luggage, this and
00:25:28that, but the product directly on site, I think the Minister of
00:25:30Agriculture would be the main actor who runs this
00:25:34department and these are gems that are normally intended for his
00:25:37department. I think that for the Minister of Agriculture,
00:25:41there is no need to go far to look for them from here. As soon as he
00:25:44tells us that he wants to work in the Bainza, he wants a tractor of such and such power, at that
00:25:48moment we order a model of the desired power
00:25:51according to the pedology of our department of Congo. Otherwise,
00:25:55really, Mr. Minister of Agriculture, it's a good gem, it's
00:25:58for the functioning of his department and we think it's very commendable.
00:26:02We are here in the assembly unit of
00:26:05tractors, do you
00:26:08know about this tractor
00:26:12assembly system, tell us how it works, well the
00:26:16assembly system for the machines is somewhat similar, but the
00:26:19machines vary according to their
00:26:22size, their function, but here we are precisely in the
00:26:25assembly of tractors, the assembly of tractors
00:26:28consists of first receiving the chassis, after the
00:26:32chassis. you have the engine, the engine, you have wheels, at the
00:26:35end you will have
00:26:38uh the installation of spindles and until
00:26:42it reaches the testing stage, the testing stage is where the
00:26:46pins are already mounted and then we start
00:26:49to see if uh the machine is capable of playing its role and then
00:26:52fulfilling all the functions uh what message
00:26:55do you send to the Congolese, the
00:26:59diaspora, what appeal do you make? Each of us must bring... our
00:27:02knowledge given what I have just experienced here
00:27:06especially in the assembly in the development of our country
00:27:09concerning
00:27:12agriculture, here we are precise
00:27:15in the site, the assembly of Eco
00:27:18Kamaco tractors, it's a chain that is the first
00:27:22chain in Congo, almost in Central Africa, that assembles
00:27:25tractors, so it needs manpower, it doesn't need useless
00:27:29criticism the debates of... it's useless,
00:27:33the CEO is Mr. Willy Etoka who has always
00:27:36been involved in the diaspora in one way or
00:27:40another, but this time he calls us to come
00:27:43uh show our knowledge, what we are
00:27:46capable of investing, of giving to Congo. This assembly
00:27:50plant was officially received by
00:27:53the government in April 2023 and the
00:27:56company was formally approved under the special
00:27:59economic regime in May
00:28:022026 for a period of 15 renewable years,
00:28:06it is a public private partnership.
00:28:40In the village of Bambou Mingali where the President of the Republic launched the 2nd edition of the
00:28:43great agricultural fair of
00:28:46Congo, the Congolese Labor Party,
00:28:52the march towards development,
00:28:54confirmed its status as a mobilization machine. Once
00:28:58again, the executives, activists and
00:29:01sympathizers have. responded in very large numbers.
00:29:17a popular fervor that recalls the great political events of the
00:29:20party. this mobilization, far
00:29:23from being circumstantial, reflects a well-maintained
00:29:27ground organization. The
00:29:29PCT, as usual, does not remain on the sidelines.
00:29:32The event and hence this impressive
00:29:36mobilization, it is to
00:29:38celebrate the actions, here we
00:29:42have come more for the campaign,
00:29:45the people who are here have come to celebrate the
00:29:49actions of the President of the Republic's social project,
00:29:53that is, agricultural policy,
00:29:57the actions to break with
00:29:59the abusive import of products to...
00:30:04and that is the vision of the President of the Republic that we should
00:30:07support at all costs and we know that the
00:30:11President, it's
00:30:14created it,
00:30:16it's to take action for the development of the
00:30:20country, you see the very theme of this edition,
00:30:24feeding the nation and honoring the
00:30:27homeland, it's a whole
00:30:30concept. So here we are
00:30:34uh to tell the president of Monan
00:30:37Tuka that the finished duel will
00:30:40accompany him to the end and through this
00:30:43mobilization we assure the president that the
00:30:47Congolese Labor Party which I have the heavy responsibility of embodying
00:30:51in Igni is indeed present and we have
00:30:55always been there when it comes to this kind
00:30:58of activity.
