Welcome to Impala Market: The Pulse of African Fixed-Income
A new home for data-driven insights into African treasury and bond markets.
Beginnings are hard. But here we are, launching a newsletter that we hope becomes the go-to voice for Africa’s debt markets.
1. Why this, why now?
Africa’s debt markets are expanding at an unprecedented pace. Yet market participants, from retail investors to global fund managers, struggle to find reliable, real-time insights.
Consider the numbers:
🌍 Over $1.3 trillion in African sovereign bonds outstanding (local + Eurobonds)
Nigeria’s domestic bond market is now over ₦35 trillion ($25B), with ₦300 billion traded daily
South Africa’s bond market trades $2.5 billion daily, making it Africa’s most liquid
💱 The Forex market, also OTC, sees $7.5 trillion traded globally every day
📉 Yet, in many African countries, even basic yield data is hard to access, outdated, or buried in PDF reports
We are here to fix that!
Impala Market is launching because we believe better data, better context, and better tools can unlock smarter investment decisions across the continent. From treasury auctions in Uganda to debt restructurings in Ghana, we’re building a platform that tracks, analyzes, and explains it all.
2. The kind of community we want to build
This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a growing community of:
🧠 Retail investors hungry for clarity and returns
🤝 Investment clubs looking to learn and grow together
🌍 Offshore investors seeking credible exposure to African fixed income
📈 Institutional investors, analysts and professionals navigating local macro conditions
If you care about data, policy, markets, or simply want to understand how your country borrows and why it matters, this is your space.
