The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) successfully raised KSh 61.44 billion from the reopening of two long-dated Treasury bonds following an earlier weak performance in its September bond sale program. This strong demand for the 20-year and 25-year bonds reversed a prior setback with a 30-year bond.

• The 20-year FXD1/2018/020 and 25-year FXD1/2022/025 bonds attracted bids totaling KSh 97.29 billion against a KSh 40 billion offer, a performance rate of 243.2 percent.
• The CBK accepted KSh 23.51 billion from the 20-year bond, which cleared at 13.58%, and KSh 37.93 billion from the 25-year bond, which priced at 14.14%.
• Previously, the CBK only raised KSh 2.40 billion from the reopening of the 30-year Savings Development Bond (SDB1/2011/030), which had a performance rate of 40.35%.
