Government is seeking to raise GH\u023c11,133.91 million in the first quarter of 2018 through debt securities.<\/p>\n

Of the amount, GH\u00a28,961.30 million will be used to roll over maturities.<\/p>\n

The remaining GH\u00a22,164.61 million will be used to meet Government\u2019s financing requirements for the period.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by the Debt Management Office of the Ministry of Finance, stated that about 5 billion cedis in 91 day treasury bills will be issued in January, February and March, while a total of 1.8 billion cedis in 182 day treasury bills will also be issued through the period as well.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 1 year and 2 year notes \u00a0amounting to about 2.5 billion cedis will also be auctioned.<\/p>\n

A three-year 600 million cedi and 5-year 1 billion cedi bond, will be auctioned in March and February respectively.<\/p>\n

This year’s figure is much lower than the figure raised by Government in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2017, Government announced it will raise 17,400.00 million cedis through bonds and treasury bills and other government securities.<\/p>\n

The cash was to be used to roll over forecast maturities, meet Government\u2019s financing requirements and build buffers for liability management.<\/p>\n

Economists\u00a0 say the reduction in this year’s figure reinforces Government’s move to reduce the country’s debt stock.<\/p>\n
