Nigeria T-bill auction, 26 July 2012: 364-day at 15.60%, unchanged
At the Treasury bill auction dated 26 July 2012, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 13.95% (up 20 basis points), the 182-day bill at 14.94% (up 5 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 15.60% (unchanged). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 448.4bn against NGN 154.9bn on offer, 290% of the amount sought, and NGN 154.9bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 9.05% to 16.90%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 9.01%, so the government is paying 659 basis points more than twelve months ago.

NGN 156,000 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 1,156,000 after 12 months: NGN 156,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 13,000 a month.
That is the same as at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 74,700 on the 182-day bill (6 months), NGN 34,869 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.
