Fifth Bond Switch Falls Flat as Holders of Near-Maturity Paper Opt to Stay Put
CBK's fifth bond switch auction drew just KSh 2.56Bn in bids against a KSh 20Bn target, a 12.80% performance rate and the weakest result in the programme's history. Only KSh 1.75Bn was accepted, converting KSh 1.76Bn of FXD1/2016/010 (maturing August 2026) into FXD1/2018/015 (due May 2033) at an accepted yield of 11.97%. The weak uptake follows January's switch of the same source bond, which absorbed KSh 25.17Bn. Remaining holders appear to prefer collecting the 15.039% coupon to maturity rather than accepting a 239 bps coupon cut and paying 108.36 per KSh 100 for the destination bond.
