Last month, the country attracted $25.64m net flows into T-Bills, as the country continues to witness a surge in confidence amid stable exchange rate.

According to the central bank’s data, in the current fiscal year to date, the debt-ridden nation has seen a significant net flow of $168.14m in T-Bills through SCRA.
