[kictanet] Ndemo's Presidential Debate Final Report?

[Phares Kariuki]

Unless it's an inflation linked/inflation-indexed bond, not sure if any
African governments are issuing this.

If you price it to accomodate spikes in inflation, the risk is that the
credit becomes too expensive for the government to afford e.g. if estimates
have it that inflation will peak at 25% for a moderate gain of 4% the
interest rate will be pegged at 29%.
