What this means for GHS 10,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
GHS 661 in 6 months on the 182-day bill
Put GHS 10,000 into the 182-day bill at this auction and you get back GHS 10,661 after 6 months: GHS 661 in interest before any withholding tax, about GHS 110 a month.
That is GHS 1 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: GHS 312 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.
