Momentum in the treasury market persists, with investors showing mild interest in t-bills during the latest money market auction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investors submitted bids totalling GH\u00a23.34 billion, surpassing the GH\u00a23.24 billion target, according to auction results released by the Bank of Ghana<\/p>\n

According to figures from the Bank of Ghana, a chunk of the bids came in from the 91-day bill. Investors tendered GH\u00a22.51 billion for the 3-month financial instrument, with the government accepting all.<\/p>\n

The government also received and accepted total bids worth GH\u00a2651.11 million from investors for the 182\u2013day bill.<\/p>\n

For the 364-day bill, the government accepted all the bids tendered worth GH\u00a2182.68 million.<\/p>\n

In all, the total amount sold at this auction exceeded the auction target by 3%, as interest rates continued to tumble on the money market averaging between 21 and 23 percent<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, analysts believe that the weighted average rates for the week indicate competitive bidding and investor confidence in government securities.<\/p>\n
