In the longer tenors, the 1-month and 3-month rates showed identical bid rates of 10.82 percent, with offer rates at 11.32 percent and 11.07 percent respectively. Such stability in these tenors suggests confidence in the medium-term financial conditions.

The 6-month tenor showed a bid rate of 10.81 percent, marginally lower than the 1-month and 3-month rates, with an offer rate of 11.06 percent. This slight variation is typical as banks project their lending strategies further into the future.
