Nigeria Treasury bills · auction of 11 June 2024

Nigeria T-bill auction, 11 June 2024: 364-day at 23.00%, up 233 bps

At the Treasury bill auction dated 11 June 2024, the Central Bank of Nigeria set stop rates on the 91-day bill at 18.00% (up 150 basis points), the 182-day bill at 18.50% (up 100 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 23.00% (up 233 basis points). The rate shown is the stop (issue) rate at the primary auction.

The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled NGN 669.9bn against NGN 513.4bn on offer, 130% of the amount sought, and NGN 626.3bn was accepted.

At 23.00%, the 364-day rate is the highest in the 28 auctions of the past year.

A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 9.45%, so the government is paying 1355 basis points more than twelve months ago.

What this means for NGN 1,000,000

Worked from the published rate · information, not advice

NGN 230,000 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 1,230,000 after 12 months: NGN 230,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about NGN 19,167 a month.

That is NGN 23,300 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.

For shorter money: NGN 92,500 on the 182-day bill (6 months), NGN 45,000 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.
