Nigeria T-bill auction, 16 August 2007: 91-day at 6.11%, up 1 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 16 August 2007, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 6.11% (up 1 basis point) and the 182-day bill at 6.20% (up 9 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled NGN 24.1bn against NGN 20.0bn on offer, 121% of the amount sought, and NGN 20.0bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 91-day rate has ranged from 4.50% to 7.40%.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 6.95%, so the government is paying 84 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 31,000 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 1,031,000 after 6 months: NGN 31,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 5,167 a month.
That is NGN 450 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 15,275 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Nigeria’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
