The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has announced the issuance of two 30-year Treasury bonds aimed at raising KSh 50 billion to support the government’s budgetary needs and ongoing development programmes.According to CBK, the bonds will be available to both institutional and retail investors, offering a long-term investment opportunity backed by the government. The funds raised will be used to finance budget requirements and help meet public expenditure obligations.The move comes as the government continues to rely on domestic borrowing to bridge financing gaps while supporting key sectors of the economy. Treasury bonds are considered one of the safest investment instruments because they are guaranteed by the Government of Kenya.Financial analysts say the issuance is likely to attract strong investor interest, particularly from pension funds, insurance companies and other long-term investors seeking stable returns. The bonds also provide the government with an opportunity to spread debt repayments over a longer period.Investors interested in the bonds have been encouraged to submit their bids through the CBK’s DhowCSD platform before the auction deadline. The results of the auction will determine the final amount raised and the interest rates accepted by the government.
