Anyone else notice how the over-subscription the last couple of weeks has been used??? This week 7.898B of the 12.997B (61%) for redemption and 4.1B (which is what they were initially in the market for) is new borrowing.SMH!!!

We wait for M-Akiba yield now.

@ Maka. 1 year amortized is useless. Amortized bonds should be for 5 year plus. I think the 182/364 days TBills will give better rates. Wait and see

What is the worst case scenario?.Govt defaulting on repaying on Tbills?

Someone asked a simple question about Corporate bonds and then Imperial bank soon was placed under receivership.Is the CBK helping in creating future case studies of how not to run a country finance wise?

@Othelo
Treasury will get money to repay these bills/bonds from the taxes KRA collects and new borrowings.
Debt repayment has been given first priority hence treasury will repay the tbills then what is left is what shall be used to meet other operational expenditures like salaries

CBK is an innocent agent on this one. Treasury are the main actors here, the gobblers of the billions!!!
