CBK has re-opened the 5-year budgetary support bond floated last week, this time seeking Ksh30 billion from investors after raising Ksh20 billion. The bond has a fixed coupon rate of 11.667 per cent and set to mature in May 2025.
In a circular, CBK says that the discount/interest is subject to a 15 per cent withholding tax. Investors should send their application or apply online via treasury mobile direct by 2.00 pm on Tuesday 19th May 2020.
