This week, short-term Government of Ghana (GoG) Treasury bill rates were a little changed as the yield on the 91-day bill rose marginally to recover part of previous week’s 1 basis point (bps) dip while the yield on the 182-day erased parts of previous week’s 2 bps gain. Short-term Treasury instruments have maintained a stable trajectory in the second half of the year as the rate of inflation remains well anchored within the Bank of Ghana’s medium-term inflation target band.
The yield on the 91-day bill rose from 14.6850% posted last week to 14.6872% this week.
The yield on the 182-day bill fell from 15.1398% recorded last week to 15.1343% this week.

Auction results from Bank of Ghana (BoG) tender 1666 further showed that demand for the government’s short-term securities beat expectations for the third consecutive time this week as investors continue to remain skeptical about corporate debt options.

Next week, the government is expected to raise a total of GHC 700.00 million from 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day bills.
