The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has reopened a 25-year Treasury bond, offering investors an opportunity to earn a fixed annual return of 13.25 percent while supporting the government's long-term development financing agenda.
The auction, identified as Bond No. 695 Auction No. 3, is scheduled for August 5, 2026. The bond will mature on February 5, 2051, providing investors with a long-term investment option backed by the government.
According to details released by the central bank, the bond carries a coupon rate of 13.25 percent per year, with interest payments to be made semi-annually on February 5 and August 5 throughout the life of the security.
Investors purchasing the bond will also pay accrued interest of TZS 0.0363 for every TZS 100 of face value.
The minimum investment has been set at TZS 1 million, allowing both individual and institutional investors to participate in the auction.
Treasury bonds remain among the most sought-after investment instruments in the country due to their relatively low risk and predictable income stream.
The reopening comes as the government continues to rely on the domestic capital market to mobilise resources for development projects while deepening participation in the country's financial markets.
In an effort to widen the investor base, BoT has extended eligibility beyond Tanzania's borders, inviting residents of East African Community (EAC) member states, Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries and Tanzanian citizens living in the diaspora to take part in the auction.
Market analysts say long-term government securities continue to attract investors seeking stable returns amid growing interest in fixed-income investments.
The 25-year bond offers investors the opportunity to lock in returns over an extended period while benefiting from the security associated with sovereign debt instruments.
Interested investors can submit bids through authorised dealers and commercial banks participating in the government securities market ahead of the auction date.
