The Treasury has raised Sh37.8 billion in the December bond issue, defying expectations of an under-subscription due to the sale taking place close to the festive season.

The government had sought Sh40 billion in the two-tranche bond sale, with investors offering Sh41.2 billion in what reflected a liquid money market supported by government payments to its agencies, suppliers and departments.
