Muhtasari
- TANZANIA: THE Bank of Tanzania’s launch last week of Tanzania’s Sovereign Yield Curve may not have attracted the same public attention as a major policy announcement or a large government investment.
- A yield curve may sound like a technical instrument designed for economists, bankers and investment professionals.
- But the real importance of the yield curve is that government securities provide a benchmark for the wider financial system.
- With a sovereign yield curve, the company and potential investors have a reference point: the yield on a government security of comparable maturity.
- Investors should therefore move beyond asking, “What is the coupon?” and begin asking, “What yield am I actually receiving, and how does it compare with other investment opportunities?” The sovereign yield curve makes.
