A joint MEFMI/IMF regional workshop in Arusha on domestic debt issuance and trading, held 29 May to 2 June 2023.
MEFMI conducted a joint regional workshop on Domestic Debt Issuance and Trading with the IMF from 29 May to 2 June 2023 in Arusha, Tanzania. The workshop emphasised that developed domestic debt markets are one of the most efficient funding means for governments, particularly in an environment of constrained external financing.
Delivered through presentations and hands-on exercises, the workshop covered the valuation of Treasury Bills and Bonds and a case study on building a benchmark bond programme for a hypothetical economy, reinforcing the need for a well-defined strategy to develop liquid domestic debt markets.
