Investors submitted bids amounting to GH¢1.91 billion, with 59% of the total bids directed towards the 91-day bill. The 91-day bill received bids of approximately GH¢1.510 billion, of which GH¢1.229 billion were accepted. The 182-day bill attracted bids of about GH¢423.47 million, with GH¢395.74 million accepted. The 364-day bill saw bids of around GH¢613 million, with a similar acceptance rate of close to all bids. In summary, the short-term interest rates experienced a decline, while those on the longer end of the yield curve increased.",
