IFB1/2023/07
@Maka what is your prediction for the market-determined coupon rate.
Are we likely to see 14.50%?

The recent 3 year bond had a coupon rate of 14.228%.
Therefore, I think the coupon will be a bit higher, even though it is tax free.

I want to put some money in these bonds but I keep wondering if this KK government will eventually default. So much lack of confidence 9 months since they assumed power. Most if not all appointments made have been so disappointing. Can the calibre of such people really get us out of the hole Uhuru left us in or we are just digging

According to them, any amount upto KES 1M, will be redeemed in full during the first redemption on 15/06/2026.

There are a lot of investments from local pension and mutual funds. Plus all local banks have sizeable holdings. I think that at the most, they will offer switch bonds for maturing bills and bonds, like they have done recently.

However it is quite worrying that they failed to concisely capture that bit in the prospectus.

Secondly, according to the Constitution and the PFM act, public debt is the first charge on the consolidated fund; meaning that the government's first obligation is to clear domestic debts from any revenues raised. In other words, by the time it gets to defaulting on debts, civil/public servants would have gone for months without pay and this government of truthful men, would be on the verge of collapse.

I wonder if the same applied to Ghana. Their government did not collapse

Yeah, instead there is a tap sale for the three year bond. This must be the third or fourth tap sale.

Yeah, instead there is a tap sale for the three year bond. This must be the third or fourth tap sale. It is the third Tap Sale for this particular Bond. At a coupon rate of 14.228%, the effective net coupon rate comes down to a mere 12.09%. This is quite unattractive compared to the juicy tax-free 15.837% coupon rate of the recent IFB. To put it in a better perspective, if the IFB was not tax-free, its equivalent FXDI Bond would attract a Coupon Rate of 18.632%. That is how attractive the IFB was. Anybody who failed to participate in the IFB primary offer expecting to jump in during the tap sale after seeing the coupon rate must be sweating profusely for their miscalculation. Very disappointing to go for a coupon rate of 14.228% only a month after foregoing a juicier "18.632%" coupon rate (or 12.09% rate against a 15.837% rate). Investing is never easy or rather mathematics is NOT EASY.

Look at the inflation rates in Ghana and Sri Lanka.

All T- Bills i.e 90, 182 & 364 days now above 12% interest.

That is what I am doing.
I am investing in 90 day bills on a monthly basis.
therefore, some funds would be available if a juicy bond comes about.
Otherwise, I just rollover the maturing T Bill, and get a better interest.
