2023 budget deficit.

issuance and management agency, Debt Management Office (DMO), allotted new
savings bonds worth N533.03 million to investors last week.

A breakdown indicated that the government, under its Federal Government of
Nigeria Savings Bond (FGNSB), allotted N145.42 million bonds with two-year tenor
and N387.61 million bonds with three-year tenor.  



Compared with similar debt issuance last December, the January 2023 allotment
indicated that allotment for two-year bonds decreased by 51.17 per cent compared
to N297.81 million allotted in December 2022 while allotment for three-year
bonds declined by 57.34 per cent when compared with N908.65 million allotted in
December 2022.



The government offered the January 2023 two-year sovereign retail bond at a
coupon of 9.6 per cent yearly, 21.7 per cent below the 12.255 per cent offered
on similar bond last December. It also offered three-year FGNSBs at a coupon of
10.6 per cent yeearly, 20.03 per cent below 13.255 per cent offered for similar
bond last December.



While more investors appeared to favour the longer-tenored issuance, the number
of successful subscriptions also declined considerably in January 2023 when
compared with December 2022. Successful subscribers for two-year FGNSBs dropped
from 153 in December 2022 to 88 in January 2023 while that of three-year bonds
dropped from 294 in December 2022 to 2025 in January 2023.

The January 2023 issuance was the 67th tranche of the savings bond, introduced
in 2017.



The coupons or interest rates for the new issuances, which are traditionally
paid quarterly, would be paid on April 11, July 11, October 11 and January 11
respectively.  

The FGNSBs are designed to have most of the features of the existing sovereign
bond but with other benefits to the bondholder, including low amount of minimum
subscription, listing on stock exchange and trading on the bonds.

It will also be backed by the full faith of the Federal Government of Nigeria
and is therefore deemed risk-free.



The coupon is paid on a quarterly basis, providing investors with a regular
stream of incomes.

The FGNSB was introduced in 2017 as a mass instrument for nationwide
mobilization of savings and investments. Minimum subscription to the FGNSB is
usually N5, 000 while the bond pays coupon or interest rate on a quarterly
basis.

Usually, the minimum subscription to the bonds, offered at N1,000 per unit, is
N5,000 or five units and in multiples of N1,000 thereafter, subject to a maximum
subscription of N50 million.

GTI Securities Limited, one of the authorised distribution agents for the FGNSB,
had explained that the savings bonds help to deepen national savings culture
while providing opportunity to all Nigerians irrespective of income level to
contribute to and benefit from national development.

According to the stockbroking firm, FGNSB enables all Nigerians opportunity to
participate in and benefit from the favourable returns available in the capital
market.

GTI Securities noted that the savings bonds are acceptable as collateral for
loans by banks and can be sold for cash in the secondary market before maturity.

The bonds are usually listed on the stock exchange for trading, thus providing
liquidity for investors who want to exit before maturity.

Savings bonds are good for savings towards retirement, marriage, school fees and
house projects among other targets while assuring on its safety as the bonds are
backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
