Nigeria T-bill auction, 29 April 2010: 91-day at 1.34%, up 18 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 29 April 2010, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 1.34% (up 18 basis points) and the 182-day bill at 3.00% (up 100 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 101.7bn against NGN 40.8bn on offer, 249% of the amount sought, and NGN 40.8bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 91-day rate has ranged from 1.04% to 5.25%.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 3.60%, so the government is paying 226 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 14,999 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 1,015,000 after 6 months: NGN 14,999 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 2,500 a month.
That is NGN 4,999 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 3,350 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.
