13.94% is still a decent return. an inflation beating return
Am talking about those who have to sell not those who are holding to maturity.
If one invested one million last year in the Nov 2022 IFB (13.94%), if they get into the current market to sell, they will only get 775k. Because the new buyer will want to get 17.93% for their investment. (139k/775k)
Granted they will have earned 139k interest over one year but because the loss of value is 225k - they are still in a net loss position.
Wazuans - please get on top of your bonds/bills knowledge.
