The Bank of Zambia issued Circular 23/2001 to formally correct and clarify operational guidelines for government securities tender and off-tender transactions. The directive amends previous clauses to restrict participants to a maximum of three bids per transaction, with one bid permitted per maturity category. It further outlines mandatory application procedures, electronic settlement through the Bank of Zambia’s BES system, and a predetermined weighted average yield pricing mechanism for all government bond issuances.
