The chunk of the bids came from the 91-day bill, with investors offering GH¢6.025 billion. This represented 83.3% of the total bids.
For the 182-day bill, investors tendered in only GH¢ 995.27 million. All the bids were accepted.
A little over GH¢204 million of the bids came from the 364-day bill. The treasury, however, accepted GH¢173.40 million of the bids.
Meanwhile, interest rates continued to narrow on the shorter end of the yield curve.
