If he is a first time investor then there is nothing to roll over as he is bidding. The rollover, i guess, is for investments that are maturing and the investors would like to apply for a current bid with the maturing funds instead of being paid. If an investor wants to roll over funds that will be maturing 3/6/12 months at the time of bidding it makes sense to say come a week to that time. Stuff happensSad .


Plus CBK demands value date to match the next bill in order for the rollover to work, which is outright crazy. Bottom line CBK is still 1960's analog in our digital age. Can't even get a basic statement online or by SMS (smh). I predict bids would double overnight if such simple basic access was made available.

Broke or not the government is clearly not interested in expensive money. They offer 40B receive bids of 55.7B and cherry pick 5B . The institutions must have demanded a higher interest rate. Maybe loaning to Shiku at 14% ain't so bad!


It will be interesting esp with the eurobond the govt is planning... Banks might be squuezed out of the bond market... Wonder what they will do with the stockpile of cash...

What happened to talk of Yen bond?
At one time the jubilee ngais were so keen to float a yen bond.
