Nigeria T-bill auction, 6 July 2006: 91-day at 8.00%, up 450 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 6 July 2006, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 8.00% (up 450 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Bids totalled NGN 15.2bn and NGN 10.0bn was accepted, 66% of what was bid.
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 4.99%, so the government is paying 301 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 20,000 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 1,020,000 after 3 months: NGN 20,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 6,667 a month.
That is NGN 11,250 more 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.
