According to the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) auction conducted last week, the oversubscription signifies the reigning favourable liquidity situation in circulation pushing investors to search for investment opportunities.
"This week's Treasury bond auction indicated improved
liquidity conditions as investors showed appetite beyond the offered
amount.
"We anticipate seeing similar reflection on a seven-year bond in the next auction," remarked the Tanzania Securities Limited (TSL) in its weekly market commentary.

Apart from favourable liquidity in
the market, improved returns on the five-year bond that edged high
slightly compared to the previous tender, contributed to the
oversubscription.
However, despite the oversubscription, the successful amount was 43bn/- sought to be raised.An over-subscription situation is a clear indication that investors were awash with cash which is disproportionate with the available investment opportunities.
