However, apart from oversubscriptions,
the government retained 105.5bn/- as successful amount which is below
169bn/- which was offered to the market for bidding. The Bank of
Tanzania (BoT) uses the short-term government note to mop excess
liquidity in the circulation.
Investors in the government securities
particularly commercial banks have continued to dominate the treasury
bills auction, the situation that may have reduced the share of the
credit extended to the private sector. Other players in the treasury
bills auction are pension funds and microfinance institutions.
Interest rates on the 364 tenure
declined to 8.43 per cent from 8.98 per cent of the previous sessions.
Yield rate on 182 days tenure declined to 5.35 per cent from 6.39 per
cent of the preceding session held two weeks ago.
Weighted average price for successful
bid increased to 8.27 per cent from 8.11 per cent of the last session.
The 364 days tenure attracted bids worth 117.5bn/- compared to 100bn/-
offered to the market and at the end it was retained as successful
amount.
The 182 days offer attracted bids worth
146.6bn/- compared to 65bn/- offered to the market for bidding and
55bn/- was kept as successful amount. The two tenures, 364 and 182 days
offer commanded 99 per cent to the total bid tendered to the market in
the Wednesday auction.
The number of successful bids was 90 out
of 181 that participated in the one year treasury bills auction. The
