The Marcos administration plans to raise P310 billion in the fourth quarter through the sale of treasury bills and bonds.
According to a memorandum from the Bureau of the Treasury, the government plans to secure P220 billion through treasury bill auctions scheduled from October to December, along with an additional P90 billion from treasury bond offerings.
The domestic borrowing program for the fourth quarter decreased from the P630 billion target for the third quarter.
Treasury bill auctions are set for every Monday during the quarter, targeting a program of P20 billion per auction in October and November, and P15 billion in December.
The auction breakdown includes P6.5 billion for both 91-day and 182-day securities, and P7 billion for 364-day IOUs in October and November.
In December, the total will be reduced to P15 billion due to the holidays.
Meanwhile, treasury bond auctions will occur every Tuesday, with a planned offering volume of P15 billion per auction.
These auctions will feature various bond tenors, including five, seven, and ten years, throughout October, November, and December. (Derco Rosal)
