January 16, 2023 (MLN): The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) raised Rs157.529 billion against a target of Rs190bn through the sale of fixed-rate Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs).
In today's auction, the amount offered was Rs460bn.
Accordingly, the central bank picked up Rs81.1bn for 3 years, Rs40.574bn for 5 years, and Rs1.521bn for 10 year bonds through competitive bids.
In addition to the competitive bids, SBP picked up Rs34.333bn from non-competitive bids, taking the total amount raised to Rs157.529bn.
To note, no short selling took place during the auctions and no bids were received for the 15, 20, and 30-year PIB.
The cut-off yields stood at 16.8%, 15.5%, and 14.5% for the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods, respectively.
In comparison to the last PIB auction held on December 20, 2023, the yields for the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year PIBs recorded a notable decrease of 40, 30, and 50 basis points (bps) respectively.
The decline in yields is attributed to market participants' expectations that interest rates have peaked and are expected to fall in the coming months.
To note, in the last PIB auction, SBP raised Rs396.57bn against a target of Rs190bn through the sale of PIBs and the yields dropped by up to 19bps.
