Interest rates remained relatively the same for the first time since the beginning of the year.

The yield on the 91-day bill stayed the same at 25.73%.
That of the 182-day bill went down by 8 basis points to 28.14%.
However, the interest on the 364-day bill shot up to 28.74% from the previous 28.33%.
