What to watchThe next official BoT sheet, plus whether later prints extend beyond the current sub-half-percent move.

The model book
The Ghost's hypothetical TZS 500m model book is +8.42% since inception at its 29 Jul mark. VODA's audited growth, its cash-conversion decline and the bank-heavy DSE session are terrain for studying concentration, reinvestment and liquidity, not trades.
Ghost relevance: how today’s rates, FX, gold and inflation read against a hypothetical model-book; educational, not advice.
