What this means for MWK 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
MWK 100,000 in 6 months on the 182-day bill
Put MWK 1,000,000 into the 182-day bill at this auction and you get back MWK 1,100,000 after 6 months: MWK 100,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about MWK 16,667 a month.
That is the same as at the previous auction.
For shorter money: MWK 40,000 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Malawi’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
