Trading activity in Ghana’s domestic bond market surged 56% last week, reaching GH¢2.44bn in turnover.
The sharp increase marks a notable reversal from the severe liquidity drought that had characterized the market in recent weeks, signaling renewed investor engagement in local fixed-income instruments.
This rebound follows a period of intense contraction, where weekly turnover had previously plummeted by 71% to just GH¢1.
The recovery was largely driven by the 2027-2030 maturity segment, which accounted for 44.40% of all trades.
Investors in this segment accepted a weighted-average yield of 12.39%, reflecting the premium required for medium-term exposure in the current rate environment.
This concentration suggests that while liquidity is returning, it is currently focused on specific tenors rather than broadening across the entire curve.
