Interest rates fell for the 11th week running as demand for the Treasury bills continued to surge.
The declining yields will reduce the government's cost of borrowing albeit marginally.
The yield on the 91-day bill fell by 25 basis points to 26.49%.
That of the 182-day also eased to 28.99% from 29.24% the previous week.
Similarly, the 364-day bill went down by 25 basis points to 29.59%.
Meanwhile, the government recorded about 37.7% oversubscription of the short-term instruments.
It secured GH¢5.36 billion from the auction of the T-bills.
A chunk of the offer came from the 91-day bill.
About GH¢3.728 billion, representing 69.28% were tendered, which all were accepted.
For the 182-day bill, GH¢1.078 billion were tendered. The uptake was GH¢1.067 billion.
The 364-day bill received bids worth GH¢574.31 million. All the bids tendered were accepted.
Analysts believe the yields on the short-term instruments will continue to ease in line with inflation expectations.
