Treasury targets GHS 2.8bn in inaugural T-Bill auction for 2024
Projected gross issuance of T-Bills by the Treasury in its inaugural auction for the year stands at GH¢2.84 billion, marking a notable 30.38% week-on-week contraction.
This strategic reduction aligns seamlessly with the Treasury’s overarching objective of effectively managing upcoming maturities, which are conservatively estimated at GH¢2.45 billion.
Demonstrating liquidity management, recent issuances by the Treasury signify a deliberate accumulation of a robust liquidity buffer. Such prudence positions the Treasury favourably against an imminent coupon obligation slated for February 2024.
This proactive stance underscores a commitment to fortifying financial resilience, providing a cushion against potential market volatility, and ensuring continued fiscal stability.
By signaling a decline in yields, the Treasury aims to cultivate a conducive borrowing environment, fostering favourable conditions for both institutional and retail investors while judiciously balancing fiscal commitments.
As GCB Capital Research highlights, the Treasury’s actions reverberate across financial markets, influencing investor sentiment, and shaping broader economic narratives.
