Total turnover on the bond market retreated by 52.94% week-on-week to GH¢336.90 million last week.
The decrease in activity partly came on the back of a shorter trading week resulting from the Eid ul-Fitr celebration.
The front end of the Local Currency (LCY) yield curve continues to see a bulk of market activity, with over 55% of the aggregate weekly turnover.
Meanwhile, the February 2036 papers at the tail of the LCY curve recorded some minor exchanges.
Ghana reached an International Monetary Fund Staff-Level agreement on its second review, with positive remarks on key benchmarks and gradual economic progress.
Notably, the review revealed that Ghana is on track to achieve a fiscal primary surplus of 0.5% of Gross Domestic Product in 2024.
Analysts believe this is positive for the bond market as it calms sentiments about the country’s fiscal position in this election year.
