BoG sets ambitious GHS 3.79bn target for next T-Bills auction following strong demand and yield shifts

In a display of continued market enthusiasm, the Bank of Ghana has announced an ambitious target of GH¢3,790.00 million for its upcoming Treasury Bills auction, scheduled as Tender #1855 on Friday, June 16, 2023. This target, encompassing the issuance of 91-Day, 182-Day, and 364-Day Treasury Bills, not only reflects the growing appetite for short-term instruments but also underscores the Bank’s commitment to maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity in Ghana’s financial system.

The Bank’s decision to set such a significant target follows the success of its previous auction held on Friday, June 9, 2023, which saw a total value of GH¢2,631.00 million in Treasury Bills. The auction attracted remarkable market interest, with investor demand surpassing initial expectations, resulting in an oversubscription of 6.46%. This strong response not only showcases investors’ confidence in the Ghanaian economy but also underscores the allure of Treasury Bills as a safe haven investment option.

At the conclusion of the auction, the Bank of Ghana accepted bids totaling GH¢1,509.95 million, GH¢982.71 million, and GH¢308.36 million for the 91-Day, 182-Day, and 364-Day Treasury Bills, respectively. The Bank’s decision to accept the full amount tendered demonstrates its commitment to providing ample liquidity in the market and accommodating the overwhelming demand from investors.

Furthermore, the recent Treasury Bills auction witnessed notable movements in yields, providing valuable insights into the current market dynamics. The 91-Day Treasury Bills experienced an increase of 11 basis points (bps), settling at a yield of 21.16%. Similarly, the 182-Day Treasury Bills recorded a marginal increase of 1 basis point (bps), reaching a yield of 23.94%. These upward shifts in yields imply a slightly higher return on investment for investors who choose to participate in these shorter-term instruments. Conversely, the 364-Day Treasury Bills witnessed a decline of 20 bps, resulting in a yield of 27.82%. This downward movement in yield may be attributed to various factors, including prevailing economic conditions and market forces at play.

The Bank of Ghana’s Treasury Bills market plays a critical role in the country’s monetary policy framework, aiding the government in managing its short-term financing requirements effectively. Treasury Bills are highly regarded by investors due to their low credit risk and the attractive returns they offer compared to alternative investment options.

As the Bank of Ghana sets its sights on the upcoming auction, investors are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to participate and capitalize on the favorable market conditions. The continued market appetite for Treasury Bills underscores the importance of these instruments in providing investors with a secure avenue for capital preservation and potential returns, even in challenging economic landscapes.

Staying informed and seeking professional advice are key factors in making well-informed investment decisions.
