According to auction results by the Bank of Ghana, the T-bills were undersubscribed by 30.45%.
Investors continue to look at other financial instruments that provide high returns, hence abandoning the treasury market.

That of the 182-day also stood at 12.66%.
The yield on the 364-day bill remained the same at 13.08%.
