The Treasury has raised Sh36 billion through an infrastructure bond with interest rate of 12.5 per cent, indicating the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is no mood to accept expensive bids.

The fundraising came through a tap or reopened sale, a second offer for the same bond that had seen the Treasury accept only Sh5 billion initially.
