The government missed its treasury bills target for the third consecutive week as investors continued to shift towards high-yielding instruments, such as fixed deposits.<\/p>\n

According to auction results by the Bank of Ghana, the government T-bills were undersubscribed by nearly 10%.<\/p>\n

The Treasury received GH\u00a25.817 billion of the bids tendered, but accepted GH\u00a25.754 billion.<\/p>\n

Once again, the majority of the bids came from the 91-day bill.<\/p>\n

About GH\u00a24.049 billion was tendered, representing 69.61% of the total bids. The uptake was GH\u00a24.029 billion.<\/p>\n

For the 182-day bill, GH\u00a21.337 billion of the bids were tendered. The bids accepted were estimated to the tune of GH\u00a21.327 billion.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, GH\u00a2430.38 million was tendered for the 364-day bill. About GH\u00a2397.82 million was accepted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the yield on the 91-day bill and 182-day bill went up, whilst that of the 364-day bill declined marginally.<\/p>\n

The yield on the 3-month bill increased by 28 basis points to 10.41%.<\/p>\n

That of the 182-day bill also rose to 12.38% from 12.23% the prior week. \u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the yield on the 364-day bill decreased by 8.0 basis points to 13.00%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
