Investors tendered GH¢1.91 billion in bids, with a little over GH¢1.5 billion allocated to the 91‑day bill, representing 59% of total bids, though only about GH¢1.2 billion was accepted.

The 182‑day bill attracted bids of roughly GH¢423.47 million, of which about GH¢395 million were accepted. For the 364‑day bill, bids totaled about GH¢613 million, with just over GH¢292 million accepted.
