Liquidity tightening in the local market and month end obligations
contributed to undersubscription of the treasury bills maturities
auctioned on Wednesday.
The auction results posted by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) showed only
101.48bn/- was tendered against the 135bn/- financial instrument on
offer, a 33.5bn/- undersubscription.
The situation explains tightening
of liquidity in circulation as well as the month end tax obligations for
most of the investors in the money markets.
According to the Standard Chartered Bank Daily Commentary, the
auction was significantly undersubscribed with the 35 days bucket
receiving no bids while the 91 days receiving 1.7bn/- against 35bn/-
offered.
“The central Bank took all the bids in that bucket and overall,
93.8bn/- was taken against 101.478bn/- bids,” remarked the Standard
Chartered Bank.
Similarly, the yield rate curve moved significantly up
with 16, 76 and 42 basis points in 91, 182 and 364 days offer,
respectively.
Similarly, yield rates changed slightly across all tenors. The
average interest rates increased to 14.02 per cent compared to 13.19 per
cent of the previous session.
The yield rates for the 364 days offer
increased to 14.07 per cent from 13.64 per cent of the preceding
auction.
Apart from the falling rates, the total amount tendered
oversubscribed to 93.12bn/- against 50bn/- offered in the market for
bidding.
There was a slight increase of interest rates in the 182 days
tenor to 13.99 per cent compared to 13.23 per cent of the previous
session, the total amount tendered was undersubscribed to 6.66bn/-
against 45bn/- on offer.
Also a total of 1.7bn/-was tendered in the 91 days offer compared to
40bn/- placed in the market for bidding. Interest rates increased to
11.67 per cent from 11.51 per cent offered in the previous session.
