The 182-day bill also went down to 31.96% from 31.13% previously.
Again, the one-year bill plummeted by 96 basis points to 32.49%.
Meanwhile, the government secured about ¢4.726 billion of the T-bills auction, about 18% oversubscription.
It however accepted ¢4.723 billion.
The 91-day bill was the most subscribed by ¢3.150 billion. This represented 66.6% of the total bids. All of the bids were accepted.
It was followed by the 364-day bill in which ¢794.44 million were tendered, but ¢791.75 million were accepted.
