The government missed its treasury bills target again as liquidity remained tight on the money market.
According to the auction results from the Bank of Ghana, the government T-bills auction was undersubscribed by 38.55%
The government was seeking to raise GH¢ 5.980 billion but got GH¢ 3.67 billion.
All the bids tendered were accepted.
The majority of the bids came from the 91-day T-bill. This was about GH¢2.9 billion, representing 79.23% of the total bids.
A little over GH¢572 million came from the 182-day bill, while GH¢189.95 million were tendered for the 364-day bill.
Meanwhile, interest rates fell on the money market.
This is in line with a lower inflation compared to last year, though September 2024 inflation increased marginally.
The yield on the 91-day bills declined by 19 basis points to 25.45%.
That of the 182-day bill also fell to 26.80% from the previous week’s 26.92%.
The 364-day bill also dropped by 16 basis points to 28.51%.
