The government secured GH\u00a24.723.84 billion in its latest auction on December 15, 2023.<\/p>\n
This was indicative of an oversubscription of GH\u00a2739.84 million.<\/p>\n
The target for this week\u2019s auction was GH\u00a23984 billion.<\/p>\n
Interest rates on treasury bills have however begun to reduce marginally after increasing to almost 34%.<\/p>\n
But the latest figures from the Ghana Statistical Service have shown that inflation for November slowed to 26%, lower than the 29.0% interest rate on the 91-day bill.<\/p>\n
If the inflation trend continues downward, investors can heave a sigh of relief and start enjoying the returns on their investments.<\/p>\n
It will be in government, however, if interest rates reduce since they will now have to pay less for the monies, they borrow via treasury bills.<\/p>\n
According to the latest auction results from the Bank of Ghana, interest rates for the 91-day and 182-day bills have increased to 29.04% and 32.49% respectively.<\/p>\n
The 364-day bill sold at 32.49%.<\/p>\n
The results showed that all bids tendered in this week\u2019s auction were not accepted.<\/p>\n
The 91-day bill saw a total subscription of GH\u00a23.15 billion, GH\u00a2782.05 billion was accepted from the 182-day bill and GH\u00a2791.75 million was accepted from the 364-day bills.<\/p>\n
The government has set its next auction target at GH\u00a22.594 billion.<\/p>\n
