CBK extends sale of two-year and 10-year Treasury bonds

The Central Bank of Kenya has invited bids for its two-year (FXD 1/2017/2) and 10-year Treasury bonds (FXD 1/2017/10)  worth Ksh 13 billion in a tap sale.

The bond will have an average yield rate and coupon of 11.619 percent, while the 10-year bond will have a coupon of 12.966 percent and average yield rate of 13.072 percent, and it will receive bids between September 26 -28.

Results of the September 20  bond issuance came out with yields on the 2-year and 10-year re-opened paper: The Ksh30Bn on offer, bids totaled Ksh44.32Bn with subscription on the two-year taking the lion’s share at Ksh34.41Bn.

“CBK accepted Ksh 20.69Bn and we hold the view a TAP Sale will ensue to sap the rejected bids. For the ten-year paper, subscription came to Ksh 9.91Bn with Ksh6.29Bn accepted by the regulator. This brings the total value on this paper to Ksh 23.97Bn,” noted Genghis Analysts on Monday.
