Cut-off must be higher than 12% [the average accepted bid was 12.959%]

never thought there would be a big uptake by the retail market... plus 'more headroom for re-opening of the bond for second time'

http://www.businessdaily.../-/15iwwww/-/index.html[/quote] How do you determine it is retail?

Most of the winning bids may be from Banks, Pension Firms/Managers & Insurance Firms [Note that most bids/tenders were competitive]

Ati 15%? And you'll still expect banks to give mortgages at below 15% while they can put it here where there's guaranteed returns?

I personally don't think it's too bad after all and if I'm not wrong if you compound 1m at 12.5% x30yrs it's well over 30m. Fantastic way to save for retirement ama?

You know, there's a greater probability that in the next 30yrs, you could buy that bond at 90 and a slight probability that you could also buy it at 80. Now if your patient and you consider getting good returns for your shilling. I think you could wait and buy it over the next 30 yrs at say 80. Markets can be irrational.


I don't follow the logic...you expect interest rates to go up in the medium / long term?

And now 12% for a 30 year bond now seems like open day robbery. Cant imagine the paper losses to be reported by all the institutional investors come year end if the interest rates keep going up.
And yes, this bond could as well come down to 90!

13% for the 182 day bill sounds very ambitious in the current week. But we are slowly steadily heading to those levels. After all, the paper has tested 13% in the past, in 2001

I think this is not the time to touch the long term papers, unless its at 30% and above Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

What do you anticipate will come out of the MPC meeting?? If they cool inflation then short term rates start to dive... They might have peaked today

I'd say 11% this week for 182 day bills, and perhaps 10% for 91 day.

Inflation numbers expected @14% or thereabout, I reckon MPC will raise by 50-100bp. CBK front running these next 2 auctions before budget reading. Why do i say so?
91-Day tbill auction was for 3B, CBK took all the bids (8B+)... at even 9.25%!!!!
It can only mean the budget numbers we expect will be extraordinary and the gava needs to pick this up before the budget...

It looks like the lending rates will start edging upwards as government increases its borrowing in the local market. Me thinks we will find ourselves in the pre- Mwiraria era with banks preferring to lend to Govt at the expense of the individual borrowers. Woe unto those who intend to borrow in the next six to twenty four months.

If I were a bank I wouldn't raise lending rates on existing loans to avoid NPLs. 2. I would neither raise deposit rates to maintain my cost of funds. 3.I would keep lending although cautiously. 4.and most of all be very active in govt.debt mkt and with this kinda rates i'd make a KILLING!

on the NSE site I see a price of 81.30 for this bond, meaning a yield to maturity of about 15% ... is that price real or is the market illiquid ?

@Gaudente,

It could be both.

On one hand, the market is trying to avoid placing funds in long term investments...which is a common thing at this time of our country i.e. at least 18 months before the election.

In looking at the latest yield curve (i.e. as at 5 August 2011), I notice that there is no difference between the yield for a 25 year and 30 year bond. That tells you how much investors are being cautious.

On the other hand, I believe that the price could be about right for such kind of durations. Its really not about the investment being illiquid but how much risk (or its perception) is being factored for such an investment.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Regards
