About GH¢2.985 billion came from the 91-day bill, representing 56.38% of the total bids. All the bids accepted were accepted.
For the 182-day bill, GH¢869 million were tendered. The uptake was GH¢668.54 million.
A little over GH¢1.438 billion were also tendered for the 364-day bill. About GH¢1.075 billion of the bids were accepted.
