Ghana's government will borrow GHS15.231 billion from March to June 2026. This money will come from treasury bills and government bonds. The Bank of Ghana announced this plan.

This borrowing will help fund the national budget. It will also help pay back old debts that are due. The government will issue 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day treasury bills every week. Longer-term bonds will be issued after the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme restrictions end.

This is part of a plan to make public debt last longer. It aims to make the capital market more stable and clear for investors. The borrowing calendar helps investors make informed choices.
