Treasury bills are issued by the Ministry of Finance and managed by the CBO, serving as a secured investment outlet for banks. They also function as a key tool for short-term liquidity management, with banks able to discount them with the CBO or conduct repurchase (repo) transactions.
The repo interest rate on these bills is set at 5%, while the discount rate for treasury bill facilities with the CBO stands at 50.5%. Additionally, commercial banks can engage in interbank repo transactions using treasury bills, helping establish a benchmark for short-term interest rates in the financial market.
