“For re-openings of previously issued bonds (where the coupon is already set), successful bidders will pay a price corresponding to the yield-to-maturity bid that clears the volume being auctioned, plus any accrued interest on the instrument,” the circular states.

The bonds backed by the Federal Government are charged upon the general assets of the country.

The circular advised interested investors to contact the designated primary dealer market makers.
