Foreword
Borrowing requirements by governments in Africa to finance their budget deficits are met, to a large extent, by funds raised on financial markets and by non-marketable debt via bi-lateral, multi-lateral and concessional loans. Debt management techniques and policies can influence substantially the functioning of capital markets and the development of new financial instruments. As a consequence of globalisation, cross-border government borrowings have become more significant. Government debt instruments attract both institutional and retail investors and have an important share in the portfolios of fund managers.
