The Bank of Tanzania has announced the re-opening of its 25-year Treasury Bond, a long-term government borrowing instrument aimed at raising funds for national development while offering investors a secure and predictable return over an extended period.
The bond, identified as Treasury Bond No. 695 Auction No. 2, will be auctioned on June 24, 2026. It is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen domestic capital markets and mobilise long-term financing for infrastructure and other development priorities.
The bond carries a maturity period of 25 years and will mature on February 5, 2051. It offers a fixed annual coupon rate of 13.25 percent, with interest payments made semi-annually on February 5 and August 5 each year. Investors will also receive accrued interest of TZS 5.0822 for every TZS 100 invested.
According to the central bank, the instrument is designed to attract investors seeking stable long-term income, particularly pension funds, insurance companies, financial institutions, and individuals looking to diversify their investment portfolios with government-backed securities.
The minimum investment amount has been set at TZS 1,000,000, making the bond accessible to a broad range of investors while maintaining its appeal as a long-term savings and investment product.
In a move to deepen regional financial integration, the Bank of Tanzania has expanded eligibility to include residents of East African Community (EAC) member states, Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, and Tanzanians living in the diaspora.
This is expected to broaden participation and strengthen cross-border investment in Tanzania’s financial markets.
The offering reflects ongoing efforts by the government to enhance the efficiency of domestic debt markets while providing safe investment opportunities backed by the sovereign guarantee.
Investors interested in participating in the auction can obtain detailed guidelines and application procedures through the Bank of Tanzania’s official website, Bank of Tanzania at Bank of Tanzania, or through its official communication channels.
The re-opening of the bond is expected to attract strong demand from both local and regional investors, as appetite for long-term, low-risk government securities continues to grow across the region.
