Ghana’s 91-Day Treasury Yield Falls to 15.32% Amid Auction Success

T-Bill

Ghana’s government recorded a strong showing in the latest Treasury bill auction, exceeding its target by GHS550 million as investor appetite remained robust.

According to auction results released by the Bank of Ghana, the 91-day Treasury bill yield fell to 15.32%, down from 15.45% the previous week, reflecting a gradual easing of borrowing costs.

The government initially targeted GHS6.14 billion in this auction. However, total bids submitted amounted to an impressive GHS7.26 billion, indicating a significant oversubscription. Despite the overwhelming demand, the government exercised fiscal discipline by accepting bids worth GHS6.69 billion and rejecting about GHS570.64 million in bids, showing selectivity in managing borrowing costs.

Breakdown of Auction Results

The 91-day bill, which is the most popular short-term government security among investors, received the lion’s share of the bids. GHS5.32 billion worth of bids were tendered for this instrument alone, out of which GHS5.21 billion was accepted. This strong investor interest in the short-term bill signals confidence in the government’s near-term creditworthiness and reflects a preference for shorter maturities amidst evolving macroeconomic conditions.

Meanwhile, for the 182-day bill, investors tendered GHS1.56 billion in bids, with the government accepting GHS1.29 billion. Similarly, the 364-day bill attracted GHS381 million in tenders, with GHS192 million eventually accepted.

These results highlight a cautious approach by both investors and the government. While investors are willing to finance the government, they are more comfortable with shorter tenors, and the government, for its part, is avoiding locking in higher interest costs on longer-dated bills.

Interest Rates Trend Downward

Beyond the oversubscription, the auction revealed a consistent downward trend in interest rates across all maturities. The 91-day bill dropped from 15.45% to 15.32%, the 182-day bill slipped from 16.18% to 16.03%, and the 364-day bill fell from 18.62% to 18.37%.

This decline suggests that government efforts to lower domestic borrowing costs are gradually paying off. It also points to relatively improved liquidity conditions in the money market and growing investor confidence in Ghana’s fiscal management.

Lower interest rates on Treasury bills mean reduced government expenditure on debt servicing in the short term, offering some relief to public finances already under strain. It could also free up capital within the financial system, supporting private sector credit expansion if banks choose to reallocate funds toward lending.

Implications for the Economy

The falling yields and successful auction bode well for Ghana’s broader economic recovery efforts. With domestic borrowing becoming less expensive, the government could reduce its reliance on external sources of financing, some of which come with higher costs and stringent repayment conditions.

Moreover, easing Treasury bill rates tend to lower the benchmark for overall market interest rates. Over time, this could translate into lower lending rates for businesses and consumers, spurring economic activity.

However, analysts caution that sustained progress depends on several factors, including fiscal discipline, continued progress in structural reforms, and the global economic environment. Inflation trends, currency stability, and external shocks also remain critical determinants of future interest rate movements.

Bigger Target Ahead

Looking ahead, the Treasury has announced plans to raise GHS6.32 billion in its next auction. Given the strong investor participation in the latest exercise, prospects appear favorable. However, market watchers will be keen to see if the government can continue to capitalize on the favorable rate environment without exerting undue pressure on liquidity or triggering higher inflation risks.

Investor behavior will also be closely monitored. While short-term bills remain attractive due to their lower risk and quick maturity, a shift in sentiment — perhaps driven by monetary policy changes or improved macroeconomic stability — could push demand toward longer-dated instruments.

In sum, the fall in the 91-day Treasury bill yield to 15.32% is a positive development for Ghana’s financial sector, reflecting strong investor confidence and the success of government efforts to ease borrowing costs. As the Treasury prepares for future auctions with larger targets, maintaining market confidence through sound economic management will be essential to sustaining this momentum.

If the trend of falling rates continues alongside prudent fiscal behavior, Ghana could be on a stronger path toward economic stability and growth in the months ahead.
