Mozambique T-bill auction, 18 March 2026: 364-day at 12.25%, unchanged
At the Treasury bill auction dated 18 March 2026, the Banco de Moçambique cleared the 91-day bill at 12.10% (up 3 basis points), the 182-day bill at 12.17% (up 1 basis point) and the 364-day bill at 12.25% (unchanged). The rate shown is the weighted average subscription rate.
The auction was undersubscribed: bids totalled MZN 17.9bn against MZN 20.1bn on offer, 89% of the amount sought, and MZN 17.9bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 12.15% to 13.69%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 13.26%, so the government is paying 101 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for MZN 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
MZN 12,250 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 112,250 after 12 months: MZN 12,250 in interest before any withholding tax, about MZN 1,021 a month.
That is the same as at the previous auction.
For shorter money: MZN 6,085 on the 182-day bill (6 months), MZN 3,025 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.
