what's the market sentiment on the Feb IFB/2024/8.5 ? There's been talk on massive exit from bonds by institutions. Even taking haircuts

For me the future is very uncertain and very worrying. I am only putting in something small knowing that I could lose a big part of it


How so? Default manenoz? What is the likelihood of this happening?

NEVER SAY NEVER! Look at Ghana.

That said... it is highly unlikely, but not impossible, for a country to default on its debt in its currency.

Remember Greece.. That country was almost closed down

Wait. I thought Greece was using the Euro which is a shared currency. This is factually different from kenya which uses KES alone.

coupon rate 18.42%... non competitives fully allocated!!!


GoK needs to find or improve on it's sources of dollars if it is to bring down that interest rate


I see this rate going a little higher but as we approach years end any other IFB will start going down. Especially if the SGR phase-2B money comes in.

I wish they could focus heavily on Agri business coz that's probably where they can get the extra dollars

Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

What could be the issue with the coupon of IFB1/2023/6.5 with a coupon rate 17.9327 %, someone has gotten an alert of coupon payment of 80,024.7 for an investment of 1,050,000 whereas it should be 94,146.675.

Is this an oversight, IFB are tax free and it shouldn't be hard to calculate the interest rate here.

Is there anything we're missing?

Might be a careless computation error in the alert

Depends on who they bought the bond from. If they bought it in the secondary market they may have spent Ksh. 1,050,000 but that does not mean they got Ksh. 1,050,000 worth of bonds. The seller made a profit of the original note and the buyer got less bonds so the buyers yield is 16 percent.

Noticed the same with my coupon. The computation deducts 15% withholding tax. Had to check prospectus if indeed it was a tax free bond. Hope they correct this soonest.

Dear Investor, the message for the coupon payment for the security IFB1/2023/6.5, due to be paid on 13 May 2024, contains an anomaly in the computation of the coupon amount. The anomaly has been corrected, and you will be credited with the full coupon in two tranches on 13 May 2024.

Now a proposed 5% withholding tax on infrastructure bonds in the Finance bill 2024.
