The 182-day: the middle path
The 182-day is the least discussed of the three and the most quietly sensible for a certain kind of holder. At 6.8587% it pays meaningfully more than the 91-day without asking you to commit for a full year, which makes it the natural home for money you are fairly — but not completely — sure you will not need. Six months is long enough to earn a real premium and short enough that you are not making a twelve-month call on an economy that has surprised people before. Against inflation of 5.3% the real return is around 1.6 percentage points, comfortably positive without being remarkable. Where it sits on the curve tells you something: the step up from the 91-day is smaller than the step from here to the 364-day, so the market is paying most of its premium for that final six months of commitment rather than spreading it evenly. If you are choosing between the middle and the long end, that asymmetry is the number to look at, and rolling this bill twice gives about 6.96% over the year against 10.75% for the single long one.

Bank of Ghana auction results, real published rows only — no interpolated points. The path down was not smooth: the 91-day peaked near 35.7% in February 2023, fell sharply once the domestic debt exchange completed, drifted back up through the second half of 2024, then dropped through two steep falls in early 2025 and early 2026 as inflation collapsed. May 2026 is absent because those auction notices were not retrievable — we leave the gap rather than fill it.

Common questions
What is the 182-day treasury bill rate in Ghana today?
6.8587% — the interest rate at the Bank of Ghana auction issued 2026-08-31. The discount rate on the same bill is 6.6313%. Rates are set weekly, so this changes every Monday.How much will ₵10,000 earn in 182 days?
₵342.00 in interest, maturing at ₵10,342.00. The arithmetic is 10,000 × 0.068587 × 182/365 — Ghana uses an actual/365 day count. Resident individuals pay no tax on this interest.When does a 182-day bill bought this week mature?
A bill issued at the 2026-08-31 auction matures on 1 March 2027 — 182 days later. That is the date your principal, and your interest, become available.Why is the 182-day priced between the other two?
Because the curve slopes upward: longer commitment earns more. What is worth noticing today is that the slope is uneven. The 182-day at 6.8587% sits closer to the 91-day than to the 364-day, so most of the extra yield on offer is concentrated in the last stretch of the year rather than shared evenly across the tenors. That means the middle tenor gives you a modest premium for a modest commitment — reasonable, but not where the curve is paying its biggest reward right now.
