T-bills auction: Government borrowed ¢15.32bn in November 2023

The government raised ¢15.32 billion in Treasury bills in November 2023, across the 91 to 364-day bills to cover matured bills worth ¢10.60 billion .

This is a 17.0% increase over the month of October 2023.

Notably, the 364-day bill attracted significant investor interest with aggregate bids reaching ¢2.72 billion.

However, the T-bill yields registered an average decline of 0.05%, with 91, 182 and 364-day tenors closing at 29.5%, 31.76%, and 33.23% respectively.
Nonetheless, analysts believe the government’s strong reliance on T-bills will likely restrain the decline in yields in the month of December 2023.
