Nigeria T-bill auction, 1 June 2006: 91-day at 4.00%, unchanged
At the Treasury bill auction dated 1 June 2006, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 4.00% (unchanged). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
The auction was undersubscribed: bids totalled NGN 5.6bn against NGN 10.0bn on offer, 56% of the amount sought, and NGN 5.6bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 91-day rate has ranged from 3.00% to 12.50%.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 6.05%, so the government is paying 205 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 10,000 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 1,010,000 after 3 months: NGN 10,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 3,333 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.
