T-bills auction: Government to borrow GH¢75.7bn in quarter 4, 2025

 


The Government of Ghana will borrow GH¢75.700 billion via the treasury market in the final quarter of 2025.

Out of this, GH¢8.12 billion will be fresh funds.

About GH¢67 billion will be used to rollover maturing funds.

The majority of the funds will come from the 91-day treasury bills, which continue to dominate the short-term securities market.

Meanwhile, the latest Treasury bill auction underscored soft market sentiment, clearing 55.51% below the GH¢6.58 billion target.

Investors tendered a modest GH¢2.93 billion in bids, of which GH¢2.89 billion was accepted, leaving a marginal GH¢36.46 million rejected by the Treasury.

The yield curve exhibited a mild steepening as short-term rates adjusted upward with the 91-day bill advancing to 10.70% (+17 basis points), the 182-day to 12.44% (+13 basis points), and the 364-day to 12.92% (+6 basis points).

We believe the modest rise in yields reflects repricing considerations to attract demand. This is expected to improve investor interest without compromising the Treasury’s cash management strategy”, Databank Research said.

“In the upcoming auction, we expect yields to remain broadly stable, with a slight upward bias at the short end given the persistent tight liquidity recorded”, it added.

Meanwhile, the Treasury plans to raise GH¢6.82 billion through the issuance of the 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day bills to cover GH¢6.65 billion in maturing bills.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
