What is this?

African governments raise money by borrowing US dollars (and sometimes euros) from investors around the world. They do this by issuing Eurobonds — a "Eurobond" simply means a bond issued in a currency other than the issuer's own, not a bond in euros. This site shows the live prices and returns of these government bonds for Nigeria, Kenya, Angola and Côte d'Ivoire.

What is a yield, and why does it matter?

The yield is roughly the yearly return you would earn if you bought a bond at today's price and held it until the government pays it back (its "maturity"). It is the number most investors look at first: a higher yield means a higher potential return — but usually because the market sees more risk. The coupon is different: it's the fixed interest rate the government promised when it first issued the bond.

Why do price and yield move in opposite directions?

When a bond's price goes up, its yield goes down — and when the price falls, the yield rises. This feels backwards at first, but the reason is simple: the future payments are fixed, so paying more today for those same payments means a smaller return, and paying less means a bigger one.

What do "bid" and "ask" mean?

The bid is the price buyers are willing to pay; the ask is the price sellers want. If you were buying, you'd pay around the ask; if selling, you'd receive around the bid. The small gap between them is normal.

Where do these numbers come from?

Prices and yields are computed by our own model, anchored to each day's official market close and updated through the trading day. The time in the last column shows when each price was last refreshed. We use only publicly and lawfully obtained information — there is no paid data feed behind this site, and it is completely free with no sign-up.

Please note: this site provides information only. It is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any bond. Prices are indicative and may differ from where bonds actually trade. Always do your own research and consider speaking to a licensed financial adviser before investing. Full terms are in the Terms & Disclaimer.
About this site & our data

Why this site exists

African sovereign Eurobond prices are usually visible only to professionals who have access to market-data terminals. This site exists to change that: it makes the prices and yields of these bonds freely visible to everyone — especially investors in Africa — with no sign-up, no paywall and no ads.

How the data works

Each evening our pricing is anchored to the official market close for every bond we track. Through the trading day (roughly 08:00–19:00 UK time, weekdays), our own model refreshes prices about every five minutes in response to market moves, so the “Price Date/Time” column being a few minutes old is normal and current. All inputs are publicly and lawfully obtained; every figure shown is computed by us and is indicative — not an executable quote.
