The government will borrow ¢3.06 billion across the 91-day to the 364-day treasury bills on Friday, September 1, 2023.
The proceeds will be used to roll over maturing bills worth ¢2.87 billion.
Notwithstanding the favorable liquidity levels, analysts anticipate an uptick in T-bill yields as the steady increase in Opening Market Operations (OMO) bill yields and interbank interest rate pose further upside pressures.
The government surpassed its auction target last week, as the market continued to experience sufficient liquidity.
It accepted total bids worth ¢3.21 billion out of ¢3.23 billion bids tendered.
The auction results exceeded the maturities by 16%.
Despite improved liquidity in the market, the treasury soaked up bids at higher yields due to competitive BoG 56-day OMO bill, which surged to 29.03%.
Consequently, the yield on the 91-day T-bill upticked 32 basis points to 27.02%, the 182-day gained 74 basis points to 28.62%, and the 364-day advanced to 31.24% (+16bps).
