Tanzania T-bill auction, 11 February 2026: 364-day at 6.23%, unchanged
At the Treasury bill auction dated 11 February 2026, the Bank of Tanzania cleared the 91-day bill at 5.09% (down 67 basis points), the 182-day bill at 5.95% (up 6 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 6.23% (unchanged). The rate shown is the weighted average yield of successful bids.
Demand was strong: bids totalled TZS 431.4bn against TZS 185.0bn on offer, 233% of the amount sought, and TZS 185.0bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 5.61% to 11.72%.

What this means for TZS 1,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
TZS 62,295 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put TZS 1,000,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back TZS 1,062,295 after 12 months: TZS 62,295 in interest before any withholding tax, about TZS 5,191 a month.
That is TZS 26 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: TZS 29,749 on the 182-day bill (6 months), TZS 12,724 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Tanzania’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
Kwa Kiswahili
Ukiweka TZS 1,000,000 kwenye hati ya siku 364 kwa riba ya mnada huu, utarudishiwa TZS 1,062,295 baada ya miezi 12: riba ya TZS 62,295 kabla ya kodi yoyote ya zuio, yaani takriban TZS 5,191 kwa mwezi.
Hiyo ni TZS 26 pungufu ya kiasi ambacho pesa hiyo hiyo ingepata kwenye mnada uliopita.
Serikali hulipa yote mwishoni mwa muda; hatari ni serikali kushindwa kulipa, na pesa haipatikani hadi muda uishe.
