Nigeria T-bill auction, 22 November 2007: 91-day at 7.50%, up 5 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 22 November 2007, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 7.50% (up 5 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 10.5bn against NGN 5.0bn on offer, 210% of the amount sought, and NGN 5.0bn was accepted.
At 7.50%, the 91-day rate is the highest in the 44 auctions of the past year.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 5.48%, so the government is paying 202 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 18,750 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 1,018,750 after 3 months: NGN 18,750 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 6,250 a month.
That is NGN 125 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.
