Government secured GHS 2.99 billion from the treasury bills market at its last auction surpassing its target of GHS 2.65 billion.

GHS 573 million was tendered for the 182-day bill. All the bids were accepted.

For the 364-day bill, GHS 64 million was tendered and all was taken.

Interest rates for all tenors remained the same.

The three-month bill stayed at 24.87%. That of the six months and one year T-Bills stayed at 26.8 and 27.78 % respectively.
