The short-term instruments contributed 94.71% of the total market turnover.
The Executive Board of the IMF board approved Ghana’s $3 billion Extended Credit Facility, paving the way for the arrival of $600 million in the first tranche.

Again, the programme could catalyse funding from other international sources.
Meanwhile, there was aggregate turnover of ¢1.24 billion across bills and bonds last week, with bills accounting for almost 70% of the total trade.
