Nigeria T-bill auction, 6 November 2013: 364-day at 11.80%, up 10 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 6 November 2013, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 10.90% (up 10 basis points), the 182-day bill at 11.60% (up 2 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 11.80% (up 10 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.
Demand was strong: bids totalled NGN 194.4bn against NGN 99.8bn on offer, 195% of the amount sought, and NGN 99.8bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 9.54% to 13.34%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 13.27%, so the government is paying 147 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for NGN 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
NGN 118,000 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 1,118,000 after 12 months: NGN 118,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 9,833 a month.
That is NGN 1,000 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: NGN 58,000 on the 182-day bill (6 months), NGN 27,247 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.
