“Demand for the 30-year Bond remained strong as has been the trend since the instrument was introduced to the market in April 2019. The total subscription for the Bond at the Auction was N64.71 billion.”

“The total subscription for the 30-year at the auction was N64.71 billion.

“The strong demand from investors for the bonds offered at the auction was in spite of the prevailing tight liquidity experienced in the financial markets”, it added.

The DMO said that allotments were made to successful bidders at the rate of 14.29 per cent for the five year, 14.39 per cent for the 10-year and 14.59 per cent for the 30-year bonds.

According to the auction results obtained from the DMO website, N2.05 billion was allotted to four successful bidders for the five-year and N2.68 billion to five bidders for the 10-year papers.
