Initial market data revealed that the government received bids totaling GH¢4.46 billion. The bond is scheduled for settlement on September 7, 2026. Six financial institutions - Absa Bank, Calbank, Fincap GCB, OA, and Stanbic - acted as active bond specialists for this offering. The bond, with a face value of GH¢1 per denomination, has a mandatory minimum bid of GH¢50,000, with additional bids in increments of GH¢1,000.
