The interest rate on the one-year Treasury bill hit the 14 percent mark in last week’s auction, despite the recent signal by the government of a cut in its domestic borrowing target that was expected to ease the rise in rates.

The auction attracted Sh23 billion in bonds across all three tenors, out of which the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) took up Sh20.4 billion.
