Momentum
in
the
treasury
market
persists,
with
investors
showing
mild
interest
in
t-bills
during
the
latest
money
market
auction.

Investors
submitted
bids
totalling
GH¢3.34
billion,
surpassing
the
GH¢3.24
billion
target,
according
to
auction
results
released
by
the
Bank
of
Ghana

According
to
figures
from
the
Bank
of
Ghana,
a
chunk
of
the
bids
came
in
from
the
91-day
bill.
Investors
tendered
GH¢2.51
billion
for
the
3-month
financial
instrument,
with
the
government
accepting
all.

The

million.

In
all,
the
