BPCE is targetting
both organic
and inorganic growth in Asia and Africa and, in February, set
aside an initial budget of €1bn ($1.45bn) for acquisitions.

But the exact sum for
the 75% stake in BMOI was not disclosed.

BPCE is shifting its retail banking business
focus on emerging markets as higher capital and liquidity reserves
required under Basel III are straining its domestic retail banking
operations.

BPCE already operates in Cameroon, the Congo,
Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritius.
