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%.

Depends on how you price the bond.

Actually, internal bonds (within the country) would also work if we can reign in inflation... Problem right now is that if you issue a bond at the current rate of inflation in 3 months the bond holder will be losing money...

** Hey Dennis,
Possibly a case-study/analysis would be helpful in determining what has worked or hasn't in this instance. Then we can learn our lessons from others and move forward.
