Ghana government misses target in latest Treasury Bill auction
The Ghana government has missed its borrowing target in the latest Treasury Bill auction, recording a shortfall in the total amount accepted from the market.
​The auction results published by the Bank of Ghana for the tender held on April 10, 2026, said the government sought to raise GH¢7.57 billion through the issuance of 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day bills.
However, total bids accepted by the Central Bank amounted to GH¢5.11 billion, resulting in a deficit of GH¢2.46 billion against the initial target.
​The 91-day bill accounted for the bulk of the accepted bids, totalling GH¢4.43 billion, while the 182-day and 364-day bills attracted GH¢520 million and GH¢16 million, respectively.
​In light of the results, the Government had set a target of GH¢4.89 billion for the upcoming Tender 2003.
