Uganda T-bill auction, 6 July 2022: 364-day at 12.00%, up 100 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 6 July 2022, the Bank of Uganda cleared the 91-day bill at 8.50% (up 50 basis points), the 182-day bill at 8.70% (down 10 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 12.00% (up 100 basis points). The rate shown is the money-market yield at the cut-off price.
The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled UGX 421.4bn against UGX 285.0bn on offer, 148% of the amount sought, and UGX 158.4bn was accepted.
At 12.00%, the 364-day rate is the highest in the 15 auctions of the past year.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 9.74%, so the government is paying 226 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for UGX 10,000,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
UGX 1,200,000 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put UGX 10,000,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back UGX 11,200,000 after 12 months: UGX 1,200,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about UGX 100,000 a month.
That is UGX 100,100 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: UGX 435,050 on the 182-day bill (6 months), UGX 212,475 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Uganda’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
Kwa Kiswahili
Ukiweka UGX 10,000,000 kwenye hati ya siku 364 kwa riba ya mnada huu, utarudishiwa UGX 11,200,000 baada ya miezi 12: riba ya UGX 1,200,000 kabla ya kodi yoyote ya zuio, yaani takriban UGX 100,000 kwa mwezi.
Hiyo ni UGX 100,100 zaidi 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.
