Treasury bills worth N32.23 billion are expected to mature at the T-bills market this week. Also, the treasury bills market is expected to be bullish this week with rates relatively stable.
This development is expected to result into stability in interbank lending rates at the market this week.

A breakdown showed it sold the 91-day bills worth N7.89 billion at 12.95 percent, 182-day bills worth N6.21 billion at 15 percent, and 364-day bills worth N103.01 billion at 15.57 percent, Business Post reports.
