Nigeria T-bill auction, 26 April 2007: 182-day at 8.10%, up 35 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 26 April 2007, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 182-day bill at 8.10% (up 35 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled NGN 34.6bn against NGN 30.0bn on offer, 115% of the amount sought, and NGN 29.8bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 182-day rate has ranged from 6.10% to 11.99%.
A year earlier the 182-day bill cleared at 9.90%, so the government is paying 180 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 40,500 in 6 months on the 182-day bill
Put NGN 1,000,000 into the 182-day bill at this auction and you get back NGN 1,040,500 after 6 months: NGN 40,500 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 6,750 a month.
That is NGN 1,750 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.
