Are you aware of the benefits of treasury bills? In a press release issued on Monday, the 11th of December, The Debt Management Office(DMO) of Nigeria announced that instead of the usual practice of rolling over Nigerian Treasury Bills at maturity, all 198.032 billion NTB which will mature in December this year will be repaid in full.
This is so that the Federal Government can implement the debt management strategy it previously announced.
This decision has sent yields on Treasury Bills down by more than half to circa 7%. Let’s take a look at what this means to the economy and the benefits treasury bills offer.
What does this move mean for the economy?
- This strategy will provide liquidity to the Nigerian financial system that will enable the private sector to raise more funds by issuing securities in the domestic market and accessing credit from banks.
- An optimal national debt portfolio mix of 60% domestic and 40% external
- Private sector-led economic growth
- The yields on NTBs will drop
- Nigerian investors will invest less in Treasury Bills due to the reduced interest rates receivable from them
