View Sources and Uses Tables
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of
privately-held net marketable borrowing[1] for the July – September 2018 and October –
December 2018 quarters:
During the July – September 2018 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $329 billion in
privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $350
billion. The borrowing estimate is $56 billion larger than announced in April 2018. The
increase in borrowing is driven by both changes in the cash balance and lower net cash
flows.[2]
During the October – December 2018 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $440 billion in
privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $390
billion.2
During the April – June 2018 quarter, Treasury borrowed $72 billion in privately-held net
marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $333 billion. In April 2018,
Treasury estimated privately-held net marketable borrowing of $75 billion and assumed an endof-June cash balance of $360 billion. The decrease in the cash balance resulted primarily from
lower net cash flows.
Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30
a.m. on Wednesday, August 1, 2018.
