National Treasury has successfully raised R11.795 billion under South Africa’s first Infrastructure and Development Finance Bond programme. The auction attracted strong market interest, with bids exceeding R26 billion and achieving a 2.2 bid cover ratio.
• RI2036: R6.996 billion was issued at an interest rate of 8.575%
• RI2041: R4.799 billion was issued at an interest rate of 9.13%
The use of proceeds are ring-fenced for the BFI (Budget Facility for Infrastructure) which is a grant facility that provides co-funding alongside private capital for infrastructure projects with a value of R1 billion or more.
This is a fantastic step forward for infrastructure development in South Africa. The availability of this funding along with the institutional reforms made to ensure BFI funds are more accessible are a giant step towards accelerating infrastructure development in the country.
