All the bids submitted for the short-term instruments were accepted.
About GH¢2.59 billion came from the 91-day T-bills, representing 54.5% of the total bids.

A little over GH¢830 million were mobilised from the 182-day bill.

The yield on the 91-day bill was up by 63 basis points to 25.64%.
The 182-day bill also increased to 26.92% from the previous week’s 26.81%. That of the 364-day bill inched up by 66 basis points to 28.67%.
