The absence of corporate bond trades points to the continued thinness of private-sector debt activity on the GFIM compared with government securities.
Although Ghana’s fixed-income market remains active, the trading pattern shows that liquidity remains heavily concentrated in sovereign and quasi-sovereign instruments, particularly DDEP bonds and Treasury bills.
For investors, DDEP bonds continue to offer opportunities for yield positioning, especially across medium- and long-dated maturities where prices remain below par.
For the government, the sustained secondary market activity in restructured bonds is important because it helps improve price discovery, supports liquidity, and provides signals on investor confidence in the domestic debt market.
However, the market’s continued dependence on government securities also highlights the need to deepen corporate bond issuance and improve private-sector participation in long-term domestic financing.
Overall, Tuesday’s trading session showed a market still led by sovereign debt instruments, with DDEP bonds driving more than half of the activity and Treasury bills providing most of the transaction count.
The key signal from the session is clear: investors remain active in Ghana’s fixed income market, but liquidity continues to cluster around government-backed securities.
