The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) yesterday said it plans to raise N129.17 billion worth of local currency denominated treasury bills with maturities range of 3-month and 1-year on December 2.
The apex bank said it will issue N17.85 billion worth in the 3-month paper, N18 billion in the 6-month paper and N93.32 billion n in the 1-year bill, using the Dutch Auction System.
Yields on Nigeria’s bonds fell below 10 per cent across maturities as trading started yesterday, traders said, a day after the CBN announced a surprise interest rate cut aimed at stimulating lending in the economy.
Traders said they are expecting lower returns on the short-date paper at the auction next week in tandem with the prevailing trend in the secondary market.
