- Reopened FXD1/2019/20 Coupon rate 12.873%
- New FXD1/2021/5 Coupon rate to be market determined. Probably between 11 & 12 %
Meanwhile, the government is planning to unleash in November the mother of all infrastructure bonds worth Kshs.150B.
You mean the one of Kenya Roads Board
Looks like it will be a shortish paper... Rather medium term instead of a long ended one.
Less than 10 years Tenor?
Heard 6....
That would imply that the coupon rate shall be correspondingly low.
IFB 1/2020/009 is the closest to this... Coupon is at 10.85% ... Bump it up to 11.00 - 11.20%
IFB 1/2017/12 has 2661 days to maturity... 7.2 years... Coupon 12.50% but trading at 108.8 (Implied YTM of 10.33%). Coupon Feb 21st 2022. Interesting 100 days apart but the latter is much better in pricing....
For those who bank with Stanchart I am sure you have received an email from them that they can purchase for you Govt bonds.
Now from their app they are selling IFB 23 (IFB 1/2021/21) at levels of 11.78- 11.85%.
At such low YTMs what happens if you want to sell your paper after a few years ? Who will you sell it to? Or I am the one who doesn't understand how this works? Or the assumption is you will hold the paper to maturity?
