According to the auction results by the Bank of Ghana, the government missed the target narrowly by 4.38%.
The Treasury got GH¢7.22 billion as against a target of GH¢7.588 billion.
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.
The yield on the 91-day bill went down by 9.0 basis points to 14.70%.
That of the 182-day bill also declined to 15.25% from the previous week’s 15.45%.
However, the yield on the 364-day bill went up by 3.0 basis points to 15.74%.
