Govt misses T-bills target for sixth time


 The government has failed to meet its Treasury bill target for the sixth consecutive week. 

According to the latest auction results from the Bank of Ghana, the government mobilised GH¢2.96 billion, falling short of its GH¢3.35 billion target by 11.56%.


Despite the shortfall, all bids were accepted, with GH¢316 million of the total coming from the 364-day bill.

Investor demand remained strongest for the 91-day bill, which attracted GH¢2.028 billion, representing 68.37% of total bids.

The 182-day bill saw limited interest, with just GH¢622.79 million in bids.

Meanwhile, interest rates continued their downward trend across the yield curve.

The 91-day bill dropped by 14 basis points to 14.56%.

While the 364-day bill posted the sharpest fall, tumbling by 58 basis points to 15.16%, that of the 182-day yield also declined to 15.01%, from 15.25% the previous week.

Market watchers attribute the soft performance to investors seeking better returns amid tightening liquidity and a preference for Bank of Ghana instruments, which offer comparatively more attractive yields.
