Government of Ghana Treasury Bill Auction Results 07 April 2026

This week’s Treasury auction painted a cautious picture amid tightening liquidity conditions.

Tendered bids printed at their lowest level all year, with GHS 3.2 billion submitted against a GHS 4.7 billion target. This marked the third consecutive week of undersubscription.

Issuance fell short of the target by GHS 1.7bn, marking a fourth successive lower issuance vs target.

The shortfall comes on the heels of last week’s 7-year bond issuance, where the government raised GHS 2.8 billion at a 12.50% yield.

Yields continued their upward trajectory for the third straight week, climbing approximately 16 bps reflecting tight cedi liquidity and growing investor caution as market participants price in a potential pause in monetary easing — or even a rate hike — amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Investors appear to be pivoting toward Bank of Ghana OMO bills, seeking shorter-duration instruments in response to the uncertain interest rate outlook.

Looking ahead: Next week’s auction carries a GHS 7.6 billion target against GHS 7.5 billion in maturities.

In an environment of elevated uncertainty, disciplined capital allocation and close monitoring of the yield curve remain critical for both sovereign issuers and fixed-income investors.
