About Central Bank of Africa News

Central Bank of Africa News is the leading independent source for news, analysis, intelligence and research covering central banking, monetary policy, financial markets, fintech regulation, inflation, currencies and economic policy across Africa.

Our mission is to deliver accurate, independent, data-driven reporting on Africa's monetary systems, financial institutions and economic policy — with the professional rigour of a global financial daily and an African-first perspective.

We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any central bank, government or financial institution. Our editorial voice is professional, authoritative, objective and credible.

All CBAN content is published collectively under the CBAN Editorial Team byline. Country briefings are compiled from official central bank communiqués, national statistics office releases and primary policy documents, and are regenerated from our country dataset whenever it is updated — so every figure quoted in a briefing matches our dashboards.

Figures for smaller markets may be indicative between dataset updates, and this is disclosed alongside our data throughout the site. We do not publish quotations that we have not sourced, and we correct errors promptly — see the corrections contact on our contact page.
