WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the July – September 2015 and October – December 2015 quarters:
- During the July – September 2015 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $127 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $225 billion. This borrowing estimate is $61 billion higher than announced in May 2015. The increase in borrowing relates primarily to the increase in the end-of-quarter cash balance assumption as well as a modest increase in financing needs.
- During the October – December 2015 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $270 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $275 billion.
During the April – June 2015 quarter, Treasury issued $57 billion in net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $254 billion. In May 2015, Treasury estimated $59 billion in net marketable debt and assumed an end-of-June cash balance of $260 billion. The modest decrease in borrowing was driven by a combination of a lower ending cash balance and a decrease in financing needs.
Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 5, 2015.
