Government Treasury Bills were oversubscribed by about 92% for the 4th week running, as a result of the high-interest rates prevailing in the country.
According to the latest auction by the Bank of Ghana, government secured ¢1.083 billion.

This was after it fell short of achieving the target for the 3-year bond issued recently.

¢259.3 million was however obtained from the 6-months bill.
Interest rate again remained relatively stable.
For the 91-day T-bill, interest rate is going for 26.7%, compared with 26.3% the previous week.
