According to auction results by the Bank of Ghana, the government got GH¢6.413 billion as against a target of GH¢6.89 billion
The T-bills sale fell short of its target by about GH¢482 million according to the results by the Central Bank.
All the bids were however accepted.
The 91-day bill saw bids worth GH¢4.244 billion, representing about 66.0% of the total bids accepted.
For the 182-day bill, about GH¢843 million were tendered by the investors.
A little over GH¢1.32 billion cedis came from the 364-day bill but at a higher cost.
Meanwhile, interest rates continued to surge on the yield curve.

That of the 182-day bill also increased to 27.98% from 27.78% the previous week.
