At the Treasury bill auction dated 19 October 2026, the Bank of Ghana cleared the 91-day bill at 4.62% (up 2 basis points), the 182-day bill at 6.32% (up 4 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 9.71% (down 4 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average interest-rate equivalent.
Bids totalled GHS 5.2bn and GHS 3.5bn was accepted, 67% of what was bid.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 9.35% to 13.09%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 12.87%, so the government is paying 315 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for GHS 10,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
GHS 971 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 10,971 after 12 months: GHS 971 in interest before any withholding tax, about GHS 81 a month.
That is GHS 4 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: GHS 316 on the 182-day bill (6 months), GHS 116 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.
