Official-source reference

African central bank rates, with weak rows withheld.

This page reads the committed AfroTools snapshot. It shows a rate only when the row has an issuing central-bank URL, a decision date and verification within the last 45 days. It does not claim live or continent-wide coverage.

Freshness contract

The browser loads /data/rates/latest.json and performs no live API call. The whole view fails closed when the newest verification timestamp is older than 45 days. Each displayed row must independently include a numeric policy rate, official URL, decision date and recent verification timestamp.

display = rate + official URL + decision date + verified within 45 days

What the summary means

Count, median, highest and lowest are calculated in the browser from the verified subset only. They do not describe every African country. Shared-currency-area relationships are not inferred or copied onto countries without their own qualifying row.

Important limits

  • A policy rate is not a commercial loan, mortgage, deposit or savings rate.
  • No forecast, real rate, inflation adjustment, direction signal or borrowing recommendation is calculated.
  • A current central-bank announcement can supersede the committed snapshot at any time.
  • Excluded rows are not evidence that a country has no policy rate.

Before relying on a rate

Open the official source in that row and confirm the latest decision, effective date and benchmark definition. For a personal or business decision, obtain the lender or savings provider's current written terms.
