He didn't meet his target, yet he rejected some coupons. Do you understand what that means, you dumb idiots. It means he doesn't need that money that badly, which helps to keep rates down and forces investors to invest in the real sectors of the economy,you dumb idiots. When the T bill rates were coming down, we heard some dumb experts say it will lead to rise in dollar rates. T bill rates are down and dollar too is down, and you still don't appreciate the brains that are getting the job done. Because you have low IQs to comprehend what is going on

They don't understand how the financial system works that is why they run down the economy in 8 years and the dumb people at GhanaWeb were cheering them on. Always meeting target does not necessarily make it the ideal situation. The reason why some bids Some bids were rejected should tell you that sometimes, quality matters more than quantity.

What sort of warped thinking is this, it shows clearly that many are ignorant about how the financial markets operate. It is not possible for the Central Bank to always meet or exceed it's targets with regards to the TBills instrument, various factors can account for that and some have been mentioned in the post.Is it a must that people should invest in TBills, some never do and would rather invest in Real Estates( purchase of Lands).

Allow Ato Forson to manage the economy because he is the real deal.
Any Ghanaian will support Ato Forson to be the next president of Ghana.
He is the Real Deal

Britain stole 1000 tons of gold from Ghana between 1820-1957. President Mahama should demand this money back at UN.

Uncle Ato does not entertain gimmicks and foolishness when it comes to protecting the Nation's financial assets. So to all of you dumb NPP "sycophants and square pegs" out there zip your beaks; now.
Unlike Ken Ofori was all about "theories ,theories and theories this young talented man, Uncle Ato Forson is about practical, practical and practical.

Some people are dumb and ignorant. Is it not a good omen for the government to miss its target because the interest rate is dropping? You don't know anything about basic economics and yet you are out there making noise. Mr Ato Forson is really working hard. And I am really learning from him. May God bless him.

Porn addiction is worse than cocaine. Please seek spiritual help. God still loves you and is willing to pull you out of your situation. I was once like you but God delivered me. Now I'm free. Satan is very a willy foe. He's agenda from the beginning has always been to destroy that which God had perfectly established.

Common sense tells us that if the interest rate is low definitely people won’t subscribe

Ato FOrson for President 2028. Don't bring any unpopular person called Julius Debrah or Asiedu Nketsiah. Kwatakwata koraa, we have Spio Garbrah, if only he is still fit and willing.

All that he has to do to get oversubscription is to raise the interest rate. And if he does this it will negatively affect the economy.
And this is all Ken Oforii Atta was doing and always playing politics that TBill was oversubscribed.
It's sad, we should be applauding Ato Forson greatly by now.

STOP RANTING HERE AND THERE, THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE SHIT TO GURANTEE THE CEDIS APPRECIATION. GLOBALLY DOLLAR IS DEPRECIATING. CFA IS APPRECIATING THE SAME RATE CEDIS IS APPRECIATING. JUST TAKE YOUR TIME TO MONITOR XE.COM AND CHECK HOW THE CEDIS AGAINST DOLLAR IS DOING AND HOW CFA AGAINST DOLLAR IS DOING. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE CODE. AND MIND YOU ALL THE SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS MOSTLY ENJOY THE FRUITS OF HE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT. IT HAPPENED FROM NDC TO NPP WHERE NPP DID WELL FOR THE FIRST YEAR BECUASE OF THE GOOD WORK OF NDC ADMINISTRATION, THE SAME WAY NDC IS ENJOYING THE FRUIT OF THE GOOD NPP DID IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF ADMINISTRATION AFTER THE IMF BAIL OUT. THE REAL WORK OF NDC WILL START MANIFESTING NEXT YEAR

Four consecutive T-bill auction shortfalls are a **major red flag**. They signal deteriorating investor confidence, force up borrowing costs for the government and the whole economy, create immediate fiscal pressures, complicate monetary policy, and risk triggering a negative economic spiral involving higher inflation, currency weakness, and slower growth. Market watchers and the public are right to be deeply concerned as this situation is fundamentally detrimental to Ghana's economic health and stability. It demands urgent attention from policymakers to address the underlying causes (fiscal discipline, credibility, inflation control).
