Questions from institutions
Primary auction results for African local-currency government debt: bond auctions for Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Morocco and the eight WAEMU markets, and Treasury bill auctions in ten markets. For each auction, the amounts offered, bid and accepted, and the rate, by tenor. Secondary-market prices are not included; those come from dealers and exchanges. The product page lists coverage and gaps market by market.
Results are published within hours of each central bank’s release, with history back to 2000 in some markets. The public data status page shows any market whose release is late or not yet read.
Every result is read from the central bank’s own release and carries the link to it. Afronomics compiles and checks; the central bank is the source. Each result must pass range and consistency checks before it is published, and fixes are recorded on the public corrections log.
Redistribution is part of Enterprise. Analyst and Team and API are for your own use. Quoting individual figures with attribution is free on every plan. Terms are on the data API page.
Institutional licences are priced per month in US dollars. Analyst and Team and API can be bought on this page through Paystack (card, and M-Pesa or bank transfer when charged in shillings), or invoiced and paid by bank transfer. Enterprise is always invoiced. The reader plans further down are separate and priced in Kenyan shillings.
Fill in the pilot form: five questions, no payment details. Work email addresses get an API key with the full history for 30 days, free; the desk follows up before it ends.

A Bloomberg terminal costs more each month than most African analysts earn. Afronomics is built by software from public central-bank results, so the price can be set for the people who use it most: analysts, treasurers, fund managers and journalists on the continent. Institutions that license the data for their own systems use the ladder above, in US dollars.
M-Pesa, Kenyan and Nigerian cards, bank transfer and any Visa or Mastercard, through Paystack. Teams and institutions can be invoiced in KES or USD instead.
Free with attribution: “Source: Afronomics, compiled from [publisher]”. Every CSV and API response carries its source lines.
