Nigeria T-bill auction, 15 April 2010: 364-day at 2.55%, up 65 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 15 April 2010, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 1.16% (up 1 basis point), the 182-day bill at 2.00% (up 33 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 2.55% (up 65 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 153.5bn against NGN 79.1bn on offer, 194% of the amount sought, and NGN 79.1bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 1.90% to 7.10%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 6.50%, so the government is paying 395 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 25,490 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put NGN 1,000,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back NGN 1,025,490 after 12 months: NGN 25,490 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 2,124 a month.
That is NGN 6,490 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 10,000 on the 182-day bill (6 months), NGN 2,900 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.
