Worked from the published result · information, not advice
KES 6,871 every six months, tax-free, for 17.9 years
At this auction KES 100,000 of face value cost about KES 100,000 (price 100.000 per 100), and the yield that implies is 13.74% a year. The coupon is 13.74%: KES 13,742 a year on KES 100,000 of face value, paid in two halves, with no withholding tax on an infrastructure bond.
Held to maturity (2040-05-21), that is about KES 246,509 in coupons, plus KES 0 gain between what you paid and the KES 100,000 repaid; roughly KES 246,509 in all.
Sold before maturity, the price moves with rates: if yields rise, the bond is worth less; if they fall, more. The Central Bank’s minimum bid is KES 50,000. Compare with bills, funds and deposits after tax →
