Interest rates on the 91-day and 364-day bills went down on the yield curve, as the government recorded a marginal undersubscription of treasury bills auction.
Whilst the yield on the 91-day bill fell by 20 basis points to 25.64%, that of the 364-day bill declined to 28.49%.
However, the 182-day bill went up by 25 basis points to 28.14%.
Analysts are hopeful that the yields will drop further once the government receives the third tranche of the bailout cash of $360 million from the International Monetary Fund.
Meanwhile, the government secured GH¢3.341 billion from the auction of the treasury bills. This was slightly lower than the targeted amount of GH¢3.372 billion.
The majority of the bids came from the 91-day bill. GH¢2.356 billion were tendered and all were accepted.
For the 182-day bill, GH¢818.32 million was received and the uptake was the same.
GH¢166.24 million was also obtained from the sale of the 364-day bill.
