Approximately GH¢2.404 billion came from the 91-day bill, representing 59.1%.

The uptake represented all the bids tendered for the auction.

For the 182-day bill, GH¢1.179 billion were tendered and all were accepted.

About GH¢ 477.58 million were also bids tendered for the 364-day bill. All were accepted.

Meanwhile, interest rates remain relatively steady.

The yield on the 91-day was unchanged at 24.78%.

For the 182-day bill, it went up marginally by 3 basis points to 26.74%.

That of the 364-day bill fell slightly to 27.75% from the preceding week’s 27.80%.
