Interest rates took a nose dive for the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0consecutive week-running in 2024, the day the International Monetary Fund approved the first review of Ghana\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n

According to auction results by the Bank of Ghana, demand for treasury bills continued to surge.<\/p>\n

This is because investor confidence is soaring following the expected release of the $600 million bailout package to Ghana this week by the IMF.<\/p>\n

The auction results revealed that the yield on the 91-day T-bill went down by 15 basis points to 28.88%.<\/p>\n

That of the 182-day bill also fell to 31.39% from the previous 31.51%.<\/p>\n

The rate on the 364-day bill also eased by 9 basis points to 31.99%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the T-bills auction was oversubscribed by 72.3% to GH\u00a25.270 billion.<\/p>\n

About GH\u00a22.632 billion of the bids were tendered for the 91-day bill, representing 49.9% of total bids. All of the bids were accepted accordingly.<\/p>\n

For the 182-day T-bills, \u00a21.324 billion of the bids were tendered. The uptake was GH\u00a21.324 billion, about 25.12% of the total bids.<\/p>\n

The 364-day bill also received bids worth GH\u00a21.312 billion. All the bids were accepted.<\/p>\n
