Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire — In 2008, the African Development Bank (AfDB) launched the African Financial Markets Initiative (AFMI) as part of its strategy to develop the financial markets sector in Africa. This initiative aims to contribute to the development of domestic bond markets in Africa through its two complementary pillars: the African Financial Markets Database (AFMD) and the African Domestic Bond Fund (ADBF).
