Government’s Treasury bills sale were marginally oversubscribed as interest rates hit 29.2%.
According to the results from the Bank of Ghana, the government received bids worth ¢2.29 billion, about 4.04% oversubscription.
The government had in March 2023 forced interest rates to go down to 18.0% in March 2023, but the rates have been surging since then, raising some concerns about the government’s domestic debt restructuring programme.

For the 364-day T-bill, the yield went up by 0.34% to 29.25%.
That of the 182-day bill also went up to 25.44%, from 24.97% recorded the previous week.
Meanwhile, the 91-day bill recorded the biggest uptake of 81.7% of the total T-bills subscription.
