91-Day T-Bill Yield Jumps to 10.41%

T-Bills Trading

Investors have massively oversubscribed to the government’s latest Treasury bill (T-bill) issuance, indicating the remarkable show of confidence and. Attractiveness of Ghana’s money market.

The Bank of Ghana’s auction results revealed that the government successfully mobilized GHS 3.51 billion, significantly surpassing the initial target of GHS 2.71 billion.

This oversubscription rate of 29.5%, translating to GHS 801 million above the target, highlighted the strong investor appetite for Ghanaian T-bills despite declining yields.

The latest Issuance saw strong participation across all three tenors offered— 91-Day, 182-Day, and 364-Day Bills, with the 91-Day Bill attracting the highest number of subscriptions.

Specifically, the accepted bids were GHS 2.71 billion for the 91-Day Bill, GHS 608 million for the 182-Day Bill, and GHS 201 million for the 364-Day Bill.

Yields in Decline, Demand Unwavering

The auction yields settled at 25.03% for the 91-Day Bill, 26.91% for the 182-Day Bill, and 27.90% for the 364-Day Bill.

These figures represent a slight decline from previous auction rates, with a 6 basis points (bps) drop for the 91-Day Bill, a 3 bps decline for the 182-Day Bill, and a 4 bps reduction for the 364-Day Bill.

Despite these decreases, the robust demand highlights investor confidence in the government’s debt instruments, particularly in shorter-duration instruments which offer greater liquidity.

The oversubscription is a clear indication of the government’s effective debt management strategy, especially with the short end of the market. By balancing its immediate financing needs with cost-efficient borrowing, the government has managed to attract substantial investment, even in a context of decreasing yields. This strategy not only meets the country’s short-term liquidity needs but also reinforces fiscal stability.

The significant demand for the 91-Day Bill suggests a preference among investors for shorter-term securities, likely driven by current market dynamics and the pursuit of quick liquidity. This trend is essential for the government as it navigates the complexities of domestic and global economic landscapes.

Buoyed by the success of this auction, the government has set an ambitious target for the next issuance. The upcoming auction aims to raise GHS 4.4 billion through the issuance of 91-Day, 182-Day, and 364-Day Bills.

This target, which exceeds the previous one, will be closely monitored by market participants and analysts alike, as it seeks to build on the recent momentum.

This planned issuance is not just about raising funds; it is a strategic move to stabilize the domestic debt market further and ensure sufficient liquidity for the government. By maintaining an active and transparent issuance calendar, the government aims to provide predictable and steady investment opportunities for both domestic and international investors.

Strategic Implications for Ghana’s Economy

The successful auction and the planned future issuances are integral to the government’s broader economic strategy to run the government and it’s expenditure obligations. They are pivotal in maintaining fiscal stability and supporting economic growth through efficient market operations.

By consistently meeting and surpassing its T-bill issuance targets, the government demonstrates its commitment to sound economic management and investor confidence.

This financial maneuvering plays a critical role in Ghana’s overall economic health, providing the necessary funds to support public services, infrastructure projects, and other essential government functions.

Moreover, it signals to the international community that Ghana is a stable and reliable investment destination.

However, excessive government borrowings increase its debt stock and exert pressure on the government in several ways. When a government borrows excessively as it is doing, its total debt stock increases. This debt comprises both domestic and foreign borrowings. As the debt stock grows, so does the amount of interest that needs to be paid.

These interest payments consume a larger portion of the government’s budget, leaving less room for other essential expenditures such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education. This can result in a crowding-out effect where the government has to prioritize debt servicing over other important areas.

As the debt stock increases, the government might face difficulties in servicing its debt, especially if economic growth slows down. This can lead to a debt crisis where the government might struggle to meet its obligations, potentially leading to defaults.

Overall, excessive borrowings increase the debt stock and create a range of economic pressures that can undermine fiscal stability and economic growth.
