WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of
net privately-held marketable borrowing for the January – March 2018 and April – June 2018
quarters:
During the January – March 2018 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $441 billion in net
privately-held marketable debt, assuming an end-of-March cash balance of $210 billion.
The borrowing estimate is $71 billion lower than announced in October 2017. The decrease
in borrowing is driven primarily by changes in cash balance assumptions, partially o set by
lower net cash flows.1
During the April – June 2018 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $176 billion in net
privately-held marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $360 billion.
During the October – December 2017 quarter, Treasury borrowed $282 billion in net privatelyheld marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $229 billion. In October
2017, Treasury estimated net privately-held marketable borrowing of $275 billion and assumed
an end-of-December cash balance of $205 billion. The slight increase in borrowing is
attributable to the higher end-of-quarter cash balance, mostly o set by higher issuances of
State and Local Government Series securities.
Additional financing details relating to Treasury's Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30
a.m. on Wednesday, January 31, 2018.
