Banco Caixa Geral Totta de Angola (BCGA) is one of the earliest equity listings on BODIVA, predating the wave of IPOs that began with BAI in June 2022. The bank trades under the ticker BCGA and is part of the five-stock universe that makes up the BODIVA All-Share Index (ALSI), which tracks an aggregate market capitalization of approximately $3.37 billion.
Financial Overview
BCGA traces its origins to Portuguese banking group Caixa Geral de Depositos (CGD), one of Portugal’s largest state-owned banks. The Angolan subsidiary has since undergone rebranding and ownership changes as part of Angola’s broader effort to localize financial sector control. BCGA operates a retail and corporate banking franchise with a branch network focused on Luanda and select provincial centers.
As a BODIVA-listed issuer, BCGA files audited annual financial statements and semi-annual interim reports with the Comissao do Mercado de Capitais (CMC), in compliance with the Angola Securities Code (Lei 22/15).

Balance Sheet Composition
BCGA’s asset base follows the same structural pattern as other Angolan banks: heavy allocation to sovereign securities (Bilhetes do Tesouro and Obrigacoes do Tesouro), a conservative loan-to-deposit ratio, and limited exposure to private-sector credit. Government paper typically constitutes 40-50% of the bank’s total assets, providing stable income in a high-rate environment but exposing the balance sheet to sovereign credit concentration.
The BNA’s rate cut to 17.5% in January 2026, down from 18.5%, will gradually compress yields on the sovereign bond portfolio. For BCGA, this creates strategic pressure to diversify revenue toward fee-based services and expand commercial lending.
Capital Position
BCGA maintains a Capital Adequacy Ratio above the BNA’s 10% minimum threshold. While lower than the capital buffers reported by BAI and BFA, BCGA’s capitalization remains adequate for its balance sheet size and risk profile.
Analyst Considerations
BCGA is a smaller-capitalization bank relative to BAI and BFA, which translates into thinner secondary market liquidity and potentially wider bid-ask spreads on BODIVA. Investors should factor liquidity premiums into valuation models. The bank’s Portuguese-origin governance framework may appeal to investors familiar with European banking standards, though operational execution in Angola’s competitive banking landscape is the primary driver of financial performance.
With inflation at 15.7% YoY (INE, December 2025) and the kwanza at ~Kz 914.60/USD, real returns on BCGA’s nominal financial metrics are significantly compressed.
