The 3 month Jibar is derived from 3-month NCD rates. Likewise the 1-month Jibar is derived from 1-month NCDs. The Jibar rates are all quoted as nominal annual rates, which means that the interest you will receive on a 3-month investment at Jibar will be calculated as (3M Jibar/4) x (amount invested). Now if you are able to invest money for 3 months at the 3-month Jibar, you can obviously re-invest it after 3 months at the new 3-month Jibar. If the new 3M rate remains exactly the same then obviously it becomes your NACQ. The point is that it may not be the same as 3 months ago.

Thus the 1-month Jibar can be seen as a NACM and the 6-month Jibar as a NACSA. A vanilla bond coupon rate is an even better example of a NACSA because it never changes.

Now here is a challenge. If the 6-m Jibar is regarded as a NACSA what is the 9-month Jibar then?

The short answer is that money market rates are never quoted as compounded rates - they are nominal annual rates. It depends on how the investment (or loan) is treated that determines whether they become NA compounded rates. If you invest in a 9-m NCD at 10% p.a. and re-invest the total maturity value after 9 months for another 9 months at 10% p.a., your effective interest interest rate earned for the first 12 months will be slightly more than 10%.
