Nigeria T-bill auction, 28 October 2004: 91-day at 13.50%, down 100 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 28 October 2004, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 13.50% (down 100 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 107.4bn against NGN 60.0bn on offer, 179% of the amount sought, and NGN 60.0bn was accepted.
At 13.50%, the 91-day rate is the lowest in the 27 auctions of the past year.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 14.00%, so the government is paying 50 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 33,750 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 1,033,750 after 3 months: NGN 33,750 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 11,250 a month.
That is NGN 2,500 less than the same money would have earned 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.
