Weighted average yield, Bank of Tanzania. Every auction
Bond auction results for Tanzania are not in the Afronomics dataset yet.
No daily Eurobond yields from a Tanzania government source yet.
Rates are percent per year, as each publisher states them, and are not directly comparable across countries: Kenya and Tanzania publish a weighted average of accepted bids, Uganda the yield at the cut-off price. Bill dates are value (issue) dates. Policy rates are read from each central bank’s website with the date the bank prints beside the rate, in its own format.

Fund yields are the effective annual yield each manager publishes on its own site (or, where marked, its monthly fact sheet), read by Afronomics daily; the newest reading here is from 4 Nov 2026. These are all 5 funds read cleanly on the latest run, ranked by yield after the 15% withholding tax on interest.
The bill rate is the weighted average at the latest auction. A fund yield moves daily and is not guaranteed; a bill’s rate is fixed until it matures in 91 days.
