The government borrowed GH¢17.22 billion from the treasury market in June 2024, 9.55% higher than that of May 2024.

About GH¢14.75 billion was used to repay maturing treasury bills.

This means 14.34% were fresh funds to be used by the government for other financing.

Meanwhile, yields continued to drift down slowly, with the 91-day and 182-day bills declining by 23 basis points and 15 basis points to 24.87% and 27.79% respectively.

The 364-day yield also lost 16 basis points to close at 27.79%.

Analysts believe the strong refinancing pressures coupled with a higher yield on Bank of Ghana’s Open Market Operations (OMO) bills may likely impede yield decline in July 2024.
