What this means for GHS 10,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
GHS 1,634 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put GHS 10,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back GHS 11,634 after 12 months: GHS 1,634 in interest before any withholding tax, about GHS 136 a month.
That is GHS 15 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: GHS 671 on the 182-day bill (6 months), GHS 316 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.
