This bond will flop. Its too soon after all the recent upheavals, and perhaps the banks will show CBK the displeasure of how they have been handled recently.

I'd like to see some invention from CBK especially on these important Infrastructure bonds. Why not offer stepped interest rates depending on bid amount?

It won't flop with UK declaring the government is broke they really need this money,most definitely guys will go in at high rates but there will be some level of caution since there is some liquidity in the market from matured papers...

matured papers yes, no one will trust CBK on rates anytime soon, guess funds and such will be keen, i dont see too many banks interested

It is Non Competetive bids which are limited to a maximum of 20m. I have bought bonds several times in the past, my bids are never (and will never} reach 20m. My bids are always competetive and in most cases I've got at above weighted average rate, which is used for all non competetive bids.

I think @Amolo was only trying to clarify that there is no lower limit for competitive bids as long as they are above 50k.

@Maka had suggested that one needs at least 20m to make a competitive bid. The truth is that while there is an upper limit for non-competitive bids, there isn't a lower one for competitive bids.

This is the CBK link AlliBaba. The limit for non competetive bids is 20m. This is information in the public domain, what is there to disagree on!
