The government missed its treasury bills target by GH¢1.44 billion for the second consecutive week.
According to auction results from the Bank of Ghana, the government accepted all the bids for the short-term instruments.
It got GH¢3.86 billion from the sale of the financial instruments.
The shortfall may be largely due to its quest to keep interest rates down. GH¢2.904 billion was received for the 91-day bills.
That of the 182-day was estimated at GH¢698.50 million.
For the 364-day bill, GH¢ 261.30 million was mobilised.
Meanwhile, interest rates remained steady across the yield curve.
The yield on the 91-day bill was unchanged at 24.78%.
For the 182-day, the yield was 26.71%, from the previous week’s 26.74%. The one-year bill went for 27.80% from the preceding 27.78%.
From indications, the government may miss its 17.4 billion treasury target for this month.
