This had however made bond issuance very expensive to other issuers (State Governments and Companies) that had to benchmark against FGN bonds in addition to interest rate and inflation to attract investors. Twelve (12) months after it was increased by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) remained at 12% as at end of third quarter 2012 while the inflation rate was still double digit. There were expectations that the market might witness new issues in the last quarter of the year, considering a few equity and fixed income applications being processed by the Commission. In the reviewed quarter, the Commission approved shelf bond programs for two state governments, Gombe State (N30 billion) and Rivers State (N250 billion).
