Nigeria T-bill auction, 4 November 2004: 91-day at 13.25%, down 25 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 4 November 2004, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 13.25% (down 25 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled NGN 79.9bn against NGN 60.0bn on offer, 133% of the amount sought, and NGN 60.0bn was accepted.
At 13.25%, the 91-day rate is the lowest in the 28 auctions of the past year.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 14.00%, so the government is paying 75 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 33,125 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 1,033,125 after 3 months: NGN 33,125 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 11,042 a month.
That is NGN 625 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.
