At this auction KES 100,000 of face value cost about KES 100,741 (price 100.741 per 100), and the yield that implies is 13.21% a year. The coupon is 13.21%: KES 13,215 a year on KES 100,000 of face value, paid in two halves, with no withholding tax on an infrastructure bond.
Held to maturity (2028-11-27), that is about KES 78,259 in coupons, plus KES -741 loss between what you paid and the KES 100,000 repaid; roughly KES 77,518 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 →
