· FXD1/2022/3Yr Average: 13.471%
· Subscription: KES 1.757Bn in bids accepted from a total of KES 7.328Bn received.
· Comment: Massive rejections as the CBK looked to signal to the market that exorbitant interest rates will not be accepted. The average of all bids received was 13.839%, which was significantly than the accepted average. This is probably the reason behind the FXD1/2019/15Yr auction cancellation.
