TENDER #1801 TREASURY RATES YIELD (30th May – 3rd June 2022) FIXED INCOME MARKET HIGHLIGHTS After months of under-subscriptions, Government achieved its Treasury bills auctioning target as offers tendered was a little above target. However, accepted bids were marginally below tendered bids as GH¢1,222.69 million was raised in 91-Day Bills and GH¢171.01 million in the 182-Day Bills as compared to GH¢877.50 million raised in 91-Day Bills, GH¢145.49 million in 182-Day Bills and GH¢101.51 in 364-Day Bills at the previous auction. Yields continued to climb up, reflecting current Inflationary pressures to settle at 22.57% and 24.41% for the 91-Day Bills and 182-Day Bills respectively. As inflation keeps rising, we are optimistic about regular oversubscription of Treasury bills sale going forward. The Central Bank cannot release liquidity on the market in the near term as further liquidity on the market will only push inflation further up.
