The model book
The Ghost's hypothetical TZS 500m model book is +7.50% since inception at its 28 Jul mark. VODA's second move and NMB's split and funding events sit inside a bank-and-mobile-heavy model-book allocation; they are terrain for studying concentration, liquidity and event mechanics, not trades.
Ghost relevance: how today’s rates, FX, gold and inflation read against a hypothetical model-book; educational, not advice.
