That is GHS 2 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: GHS 759 on the 182-day bill (6 months), GHS 368 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Ghana’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
