Chad Adopts New Regulation Allowing Larger Private Placements in CEMAC
What happened
The Ministerial Committee of the Central African Monetary Union adopted an amended regulation in Chad on October 14, 2026. Starting November 1, 2026, companies in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) can raise funds through private placements without the previous CFA20 billion limit over a 12-month period. The new rules permit a maximum of two private placements within any rolling 24-month period.
Why it matters
The reform is designed to give issuers greater flexibility to mobilize capital within the regional financial market. By removing the size restriction on private placements, companies can raise larger amounts from qualified investors without needing a public securities offering.
