How this table is built
Each week the CBK posts a PDF notice. Afronomics reads every notice on the CBK Treasury bills page, extracts the auction table for each tenor and keeps the link to the notice on every row. Notices older than the current layout are read with the same rules; any that could not be read are left out rather than guessed. Spot an error? See corrections.
