Domestic bond subscribers get N190bn in four months

October 28, 2019333 views0 comments

Investors that subscribed to domestic bonds issued by the Federal Government earned about N190bn as interest within a three-month period covering April to June, analysis of the government’s debt profile has revealed.

Based on the fiscal strategy of the federal government, the Debt Management Office usually issues bonds to raise money from the domestic market to finance government’s programme as contained in the national budget.

The financial instruments used by the government to raise money from the domestic bond market are the Federal Government bond, Treasury bill, savings bond, green bond, and Sukuk bond.

Investigations revealed that from the Nigerian Treasury bill instrument, investors earned a total interest of N45.71bn between April and June.

A breakdown of this amount showed that the government paid N14.89bn as interest in April while May and June had N14.7bn and N16.11bn, respectively.

For the FGN bond, the investors in this instrument received total interest of N128.99bn.

The interest was earned thus N69.18bn in April, N31.77bn in May and N28.02bn in June.

A further analysis showed that for the Treasury bill, the sum of N6.25bn was paid as interest by the government to investors.

This is made up of N3.12bn paid in the month of May while the balance of N3.12bn was for June

In terms of the savings bond, subscribers of this financial instrument received N310.62m as interest on their investments.

An analysis of the amount showed that they received N112.38m in April; N100.21m in May, and N98.03m in June.

For the Sukuk bond, investors earned the sum of N7.84bn as interest on their investments during the three-month period.

Findings also showed that for the green bond, a total of N718.53m was paid as interest by the government to subscribers of this debt instrument.

The Federal Government has in recent times been experiencing revenue shortfall, a development that has made it to fall back on borrowing from domestic and foreign sources.

The local and foreign debts, which stood at N25.7tn as of June ending, have been a source of worry to many Nigerians.

In the first six months of this year, the Federal Government recorded a revenue underperformance of N1.45tn.

Mrs Zainab Ahmed,the minister of finance, budget and national planning, gave the figure during a public presentation of the 2020 budget submitted by President Muhammdu Buhari to a joint session of the National Assembly.

The federal government had proposed to generate the sum of N6.99tn in the 2019 budget.

Based on the budget document, the sum of N3.49tn was expected to be generated during the first half of this year.

But as of June ending, only N2.04tn had been earned by the government from all its revenue items; this is only about 58 per cent of the expected revenue.
