Mozambique Treasury bills · auction of 6 April 2022

Mozambique T-bill auction, 6 April 2022: 364-day at 15.40%, up 201 bps

At the Treasury bill auction dated 6 April 2022, the Banco de Moçambique cleared the 91-day bill at 15.36% (up 200 basis points), the 182-day bill at 15.39% (up 201 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 15.40% (up 201 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average subscription rate.

The auction was undersubscribed: bids totalled MZN 13.3bn against MZN 13.5bn on offer, 98% of the amount sought, and MZN 12.6bn was accepted.

At 15.40%, the 364-day rate is the highest in the 25 auctions of the past year.

A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 13.38%, so the government is paying 202 basis points more than twelve months ago.

What this means for MZN 100,000

Worked from the published rate · information, not advice

MZN 15,400 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 115,400 after 12 months: MZN 15,400 in interest before any withholding tax, about MZN 1,283 a month.

That is MZN 2,010 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.

For shorter money: MZN 7,695 on the 182-day bill (6 months), MZN 3,840 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.
