Ghana’s fixed income market recorded total transactions worth GHS1.13 billion on Friday, May 15, 2026, with Treasury bills accounting for the bulk of activity as yields continue to trend lower across short-term instruments.
Data from the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM) showed 327 trades executed across all instrument categories during the session. Treasury bills alone drove GHS856.99 million of that volume across 291 deals, making them by far the most actively traded securities on the day.
The 91-day bill maturing August 10, 2026, attracted the highest single-instrument volume, with GHS229.08 million changing hands in 16 transactions at a closing yield of approximately 4.98 percent. That figure marks a notable compression from its opening yield of around 5.05 percent, signalling continued investor appetite for near-term government paper.
