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 7.6763% 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 2.4 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 7.80% over the year against 12.96% 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.
