Trading on the Ghana Fixed Income Market rose to GHS1.632 billion on Thursday, 17 September 2026, across 924 transactions. That was up 68.5% from GHS968.22 million across 335 trades in the previous session.
Treasury bills were the largest segment at GHS682.34 million, or 41.8% of turnover. Outright trading in Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) bonds, the restructured government bonds from Ghana’s domestic debt exchange, jumped to GHS511.96 million, up 191.2% from GHS175.82 million a day earlier. Sell/buy-back trades in Government of Ghana securities added GHS432.28 million, or 26.5% of the market.
Together, T-bills, outright DDEP bonds and sell/buy-backs made up about 99.7% of the session. Outright DDEP trades fell in number from 18 to 13, so the surge came from larger ticket sizes. The most traded DDEP bond was the 8.50% security maturing 15 February 2028, at about GHS250.93 million across six trades. The 9.10% bond maturing 10 February 2032 followed with GHS199 million across three trades. Those two instruments accounted for almost 88% of outright DDEP turnover.
The heaviest Treasury bill was the 364-day security maturing 26 July 2027, at GHS240.05 million across six trades. Corporate bonds were marginal at GHS5.01 million. There were no trades in conventional new or old Government of Ghana notes and bonds that session.
The figures show where secondary-market liquidity sat after the DDEP: short T-bills, restructured sovereign paper, and repo-style sell/buy-backs, rather than conventional GoG notes and bonds or corporates.
