The government failed to meet its treasury bills target for the seventh consecutive week.<\/p>\n

According to the auction results by the Bank of Ghana, the government missed the target by 22.82%.<\/p>\n

It received GH\u00a26.12 billion, falling short of the target of GH\u00a27.525 billion.<\/p>\n

The chunk of the bids again came from the 91-day bill, with investors offering GH\u00a23.71 billion. This represented 60.56% of the total bids. The uptake was GH\u00a23.633 billion.<\/p>\n

For the 182-day bill, investors tendered in only GH\u00a2814.85 million. A little over GH\u00a2804 million of the bids were accepted.<\/p>\n

The 364-day bill saw bids worth GH\u00a21.60 billion tendered. The treasury, however, accepted only GH\u00a2100.99 million of the bids.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, interest rates increased for the first time in about five months.<\/p>\n

The yield on the 91-day bill went up by 9.0 basis points to 14.65%.<\/p>\n

That of the 182-day bill also increased to 15.02% from the previous week\u2019s 15.01%. <\/p>\n

However, the yield on the 364-day bill went up by 25 basis points to 15.41%. \u00a0<\/p>\n
