WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the
October – December 2014 and January – March 2015 quarters:
During the October – December 2014 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $232 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $200 billion. This
borrowing estimate is $45 billion higher than announced in August 2014. The increase in borrowing relates primarily to changes in cash balance assumptions. [1]
During the January – March 2015 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $209 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-March cash balance of $100 billion.

During the July – September 2014 quarter, Treasury issued $205 billion in net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance
of $158 billion. In August 2014, Treasury had estimated $192 billion in net marketable debt and assumed an end-of-September cash
balance of $150 billion. The increase in borrowing is driven primarily by a higher ending cash balance.
Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 5, 2014.
