Approximately GH¢2.404 billion came from the 91-day bill, representing 59.1%.
The uptake represented all the bids tendered for the auction.
For the 182-day bill, GH¢1.179 billion were tendered and all were accepted.
About GH¢ 477.58 million were also bids tendered for the 364-day bill. All were accepted.
Meanwhile, interest rates remain relatively steady.
The yield on the 91-day was unchanged at 24.78%.
For the 182-day bill, it went up marginally by 3 basis points to 26.74%.
That of the 364-day bill fell slightly to 27.75% from the preceding week’s 27.80%.
