  "account": "The Federal Government plans to return to a popular bond with a fresh N600 billion offer on September 14 to raise more funds. Among the N1 trillion being offered, N600 billion will be from reopening the 15.45% FGN June 2038 bond, while the remaining N400 billion will come from a new bond maturing in September 2036. This indicates that 60% of the government's funding aims to come from a bond that has been issued multiple times since its introduction in June 2023. The June 2038 bond has become crucial for the government's borrowing, especially in 2026, with about N2.42 trillion worth of the bond already outstanding. If the DMO successfully sells N600 billion at Monday's auction, the total value issued could surpass N3 trillion. The reopening of an existing bond enables the government to raise additional funds using a security that investors are already familiar with, avoiding the need to create a new bond every time it requires financing. The government's borrowing plans are shifting towards the domestic bond market, which has seen a decrease in interest rates, making it an attractive option for borrowing at cheaper rates.",
