According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the bank borrowed N952 billion from the three-month treasury bills (T-bills) auction held on March 24, 2023.
Here's a breakdown of the auction results:
- Total bids received: N1.43 trillion
- Total offered: N952 billion
- Subscription rate: 66.3%
- Stop rate: 6.5% (3-month T-bill)
- Average rate: 6.45%
The CBN uses T-bills to manage liquidity in the financial system, regulate inflation, and maintain monetary stability. The bank borrows from the T-bill auction to inject liquidity into the system, which can help to stimulate economic growth.
It's worth noting that the CBN has been borrowing heavily from the T-bill market in recent times to finance its activities and support the economy. The bank's borrowing from the T-bill market has been increasing steadily, which can have implications for the overall direction of interest rates and the economy.
