Nigeria T-bill auction, 27 March 2013: 91-day at 11.00%, up 55 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 27 March 2013, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 11.00% (up 55 basis points) and the 182-day bill at 11.15% (up 50 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 205.3bn against NGN 90.9bn on offer, 226% of the amount sought, and NGN 90.9bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 91-day rate has ranged from 9.20% to 14.50%.
A year earlier the 91-day bill cleared at 14.30%, so the government is paying 330 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 55,750 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 1,055,750 after 6 months: NGN 55,750 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 9,292 a month.
That is NGN 2,500 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 27,500 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.
