Nigeria T-bill auction, 8 January 2004: 91-day at 14.50%, unchanged
At the Treasury bill auction dated 8 January 2004, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 14.50% (unchanged). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
The auction was undersubscribed: bids totalled NGN 81.9bn against NGN 100.0bn on offer, 82% of the amount sought, and NGN 81.9bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 91-day rate has ranged from 13.39% to 16.00%.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 14.00%, so the government is paying 50 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 36,250 in 3 months on the 91-day bill
Put NGN 1,000,000 into the 91-day bill at this auction and you get back NGN 1,036,250 after 3 months: NGN 36,250 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 12,083 a month.
That is the same as at the previous auction.
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Nigeria’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
