Questions Fréquemment Posées
What are the African Financial Markets Database (AFMD) and the AFMI DataPortal
The African Financial Markets Database (AFMD) is a comprehensive database that provides updated and complete information on domestic central government marketable debt, with focus on Treasury bills and Treasury bonds. Currently the AFMD covers bond and bill issues for nearly 45 African countries since the year 2000, to the extent that data is available.
Data is collected through a network of Liaison Officers from the Central banks and the Ministries of Finances. Data is also collected in the public domain, especially from Debt Management Offices, stock exchanges, numbering agencies, regulators and financial markets associations, etc. The main data sources are the auction results and official reports published by the official institutions.
Data is validated, regularly cross-checked and compiled by the bank’s statistics Department in joint cooperation with AFMI Team to ensure as far as possible accurate, reconcilable and harmonized information on domestic central government marketable debt all over the continent. Data is then disseminated through the AFMI Dataportal, security by security or on aggregate basis. The disseminated statistics aim to meet the need of policymakers, investors, bankers, researchers and other users.
