The secondary bond market extended its positive momentum this week, with total turnover surging 66.42% week-on-week to GH¢4.10 billion.
Trading was heavily skewed toward the February 2030 paper, which reaffirmed its role as the market’s liquidity bellwether, accounting for GH¢1.01bn of executed trades.
Trading remained firmly anchored in the 2027–2030 segment, which accounted for 75.5% of total trades, with a weighted-average yield of 14.77%.
