BoT reopens 25-year treasury bond auction

By The Respondents Reporter

The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has reopened a 25-year Treasury Bond, offering investors another opportunity to secure long-term returns through one of the government's flagship debt instruments.

The bond, identified as Treasury Bond No. 695 (Auction No. 2), will be auctioned on June 24, 2026, as part of the central bank’s efforts to mobilise long-term capital for national development while broadening investment opportunities for individuals and institutions.

With a maturity date of February 5, 2051, the bond offers an annual coupon rate of 13.25 percent, providing investors with a stable source of income over the investment period. Interest payments will be made semi-annually on February 5 and August 5.

BoT said investors will also receive accrued interest of Sh5.0822 for every Sh100 invested in the bond.

The minimum investment amount has been set at Sh1 million, making the instrument accessible to a wider pool of investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, banks, corporate entities and individual investors seeking long-term financial security.

In a move aimed at attracting regional and international participation, the central bank has invited residents of East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states, as well as Tanzanian citizens living in the diaspora, to take part in the auction.

Treasury bonds remain among the most secure investment options in the market because they are backed by the government and offer predictable returns through periodic interest payments.

The latest reopening reflects the growing role of Tanzania’s domestic debt market in financing development priorities while strengthening financial inclusion and investment participation across the region.

Interested investors are encouraged to submit their bids ahead of the June 24 auction through authorised channels provided by the Bank of Tanzania.
