Treasury Bill Rates
Government Treasury Bill yields — the risk-free benchmark. T-bills are issued by the government and carry no bank credit risk, so their yield is the floor any bank deposit should be measured against. Secondary-market yields from the CBSL, by tenor.
Government-guaranteed yields by tenor · latest as of 2026-07-31
| Tenor | Yield (p.a.) | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| 91-day | 9.86% | +29.74% |
| 182-day | 10.21% | +29.24% |
| 364-day | 10.20% | +27.02% |
How to use this: a fixed deposit should pay more than the T-bill of similar tenor to compensate for taking bank risk and locking your money in. If a 1-year FD pays less than the 364-day T-bill, the T-bill is the better risk-adjusted deal. Compare fixed deposits →
