Ghana Treasury bill sale beats target by 16% as rates ease

16%

Ghana's government sold 4.11bn GHS (€317mn) of Treasury bills at its November 6 auction, 15.9% above its 3.54bn GHS (€273mn) target, according to Bank of Ghana auction results. Bids totaled 5.01bn GHS (€387mn). The 364-day rate fell to 9.48% from 9.60% a week earlier, after the October 30 sale had fallen 22% short of its goal.

Analysis: Demand returned after two auctions that missed their targets. The 91-day bill took 71% of the money raised, by our calculation, suggesting investors still prefer the shortest paper. All three rates eased in the central bank's table, with the 91-day rate at 4.56% from 4.60%, although Joy Business reported a small rise. The government borrowed about 14bn GHS (€1.08bn) through short-term instruments in October, Joy Business said. The next test is larger. The November 13 auction seeks 5.57bn GHS (€430mn), 57% more than this week's target, and should show whether demand holds at that size.
