The government borrowed GH¢15.60 billion via treasury bills in April 2024.
This is 21.61% lower over March 2023.
The government underperformed its target in four out of the five auctions settled in Apr 2024.
It missed the gross monthly target by 9.73% and 3.90% below the matured bills.
However, it remained focused on trimming T-bill yields in Apr 2024.
Whilst, the 91-day shed 45 basis points to close at 25.55%, the 182 and 364-day yields lost 85 basis points each to end the month at 27.65% and 28.25% respectively.
Notable upside pressures remain from inflationary risk in the recent increase of ex-pump fuel and transport prices.
However, analysts expect the favourable inflation outlook to augur well for treasury yields in the money market.
Meanwhile, T-bills were oversubscribed in last week’s money market auction, as total bids exceeded the treasury’s target.
The treasury accepted all bids worth GH¢3.47 billion, above the auction target by 17.07% and matured bills by 26.74%.
Yields persisted southward, with the 91-day falling 10 basis points to 25.45%.
