  The yield on our government securities is in a steep decline. 6 months T-Bill is giving 1.79% only, far cry from the days when it was above 3%. Investors who are doing the T-bill ladder will be getting much less returns, almost half compared to those issues one year ago. Given the context of the overall decline in interest rates. SSBs yield does look a hair more attractive than the T-Bill with first year yield at 3 base points higher and an average 10 year yield of 2.29% . The closing date is on the 28th July@9pm. God Bless.
