WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the April –
June 2015 and July – September 2015 quarters:
During the April – June 2015 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $59 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash
balance of $260 billion. This borrowing estimate is $66 billion higher than announced in February 2015. The increase in borrowing
relates primarily to the increase in the end-of-quarter cash balance assumption partially offset by a decrease in the financing needs
[1].
During the July - September 2015 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $66 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-ofSeptember cash balance of $175 billion.
During the January – March 2015 quarter, Treasury issued $141 billion in net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance
of $100 billion. In February 2015, Treasury estimated $155 billion in net marketable debt and assumed an end-of-March cash balance of
$100 billion. The decrease in borrowing was driven primarily by higher receipts partially offset by higher outlays.
Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6, 2015.
