Mozambique T-bill auction, 2 August 2017: 364-day at 27.42%, down 2 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 2 August 2017, the Banco de Moçambique cleared the 91-day bill at 25.35% (down 3 basis points), the 182-day bill at 26.25% (down 4 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 27.42% (down 2 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average subscription rate.
The auction was undersubscribed: bids totalled MZN 1.9bn against MZN 9.0bn on offer, 21% of the amount sought, and MZN 1.7bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 27.11% to 29.74%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 13.50%, so the government is paying 1392 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for MZN 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
MZN 27,420 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put MZN 100,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back MZN 127,420 after 12 months: MZN 27,420 in interest before any withholding tax, about MZN 2,285 a month.
That is MZN 20 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: MZN 13,125 on the 182-day bill (6 months), MZN 6,338 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Mozambique’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
