10 local banks have joined the Central Bank of Congo in deploying Bloomberg’s BMatch on FXGO for the country’s interbank foreign-exchange market.
The platform lets participants negotiate trades electronically, giving the central bank clearer visibility into market activity and price formation for the Congolese franc.
Governor André Wameso said the move is meant to create a more transparent, structured and stable FX market, strengthening confidence and financial stability.
Bloomberg said the rollout adds DR Congo to a growing list of African central banks using similar FX-market infrastructure, including Angola, Nigeria and Kenya.
