Investors who had purchased long-term Government Securities are set to beginning receiving their returns in the month of September, according to data from the Central Bank of Kenya(CBK) and the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
The CBK is this month scheduled to begin paying coupons to mostly institutional investors holding several Government Treasury and Infrastructure Bonds, giving investors an opportunity to receive meaningful gains. While Treasury Bonds attract a withholding tax of between 10 and15%; while infrastructure Bonds coupons are tax-free.
The scheduled payments include 7th September 2026 when investors holding the 15-year Treasury Bond sold in 2015, will received returns of 11.00% coupon rate or KSh 55,000 per KSh 1Million face value.
On the same day, holders of the 17-year Infrastructure Bond first sold in 2023, at a coupon rate at 14.399%, will receive a return of KSh 71,995 per KSh 1 million worth of the bond held. Further, investors holding the 21-year infrastructure, first sold in 2021, will be paid coupons at the rate of 12.737% or KSh 63,685 per KSh 1Million invested.
On 14th September 2026, investors who bought the 12-year Infrastructure Bond, sold in 2015, will get coupon payments at the rate of 11.00% or KSh 55,000 per KSh 1million worth of the security.
Likewise, investors who bought a 20-year Treasury Bond, first sold in 2016, will get returns at 14.00% or KSh 70,000 per KSh 1 million worth of this bond.
Also on 14th September 2026, investors holding a 20-year Treasury Bond, sold in 2018/020, will receive returns at the rate of 13.20% or KSh 66,000 per KSh 1million.
Also, on 14th September 2026, investors holding a 25-year Infrastructure Bond, sold in 2019, will bet coupon payments at the rate of 12.20% or KSh 61,000 per KSh 1million worth of the debt instrument.
On 21st September 2026, investors holding a 10-year Treasury Bond sold in 2024, will receive coupons at the rate of 16.00% or KSh 80,000 per KSh 1million worth of their holding of the security.
Across these listed bonds, the gross coupon payments amount to KSh 522,680 for every KSh 1 million of face value held throughout the relevant coupon periods.
Investment analysts are persuading those holding these securities to not treat the coupons as spending money, when it arrives. Instead, they should consider reinvesting it into another attractive opportunity. This is because reinvested coupons increase one’s capital base, allowing investment income to generate more investment income over time.
