What “according to Afronomics” means

ASBI is published every Monday as the simple, equal-weighted average of the latest 364-day Treasury bill rate in every covered market, a result counting for up to 120 days after its auction, with a minimum of six markets. Equal weighting keeps it a measure of the typical market rather than of the two largest; the per-market contributions are published with every reading so anyone can re-weight it. The series is recomputed from the underlying auctions, so a corrected auction corrects the index, and the change is logged. Latest: 12.33% for the week of 5 October 2026, 10 markets. Method, series and contributions.

Recorded automatically the first time the pipeline sees a new result, to the minute, Nairobi time. Central banks do not all stamp their publications, so this is our side of the record: the value date the bank printed, and when the figure was live here with its source. Rows marked “history load” came in with a market’s initial import rather than live detection.

6 live detections in the last 90 days. The pipeline checks every central bank three times each working day and the monitor every twenty minutes; alerts go out the same minute a result is confirmed.

When a figure changes after publication — a bank restates a result, a document was misread, a row was duplicated — the change is recorded here with what was wrong, what changed and why. Editorial corrections to articles are on the corrections page. Report an error: desk@afronomicsfeed.com.
