WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the January
– March and April – June 2013 quarters:
During the January – March 2013 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $331 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-March cash
balance of $30 billion. This borrowing estimate is $11 billion lower than announced in October 2012. The decrease in borrowing relates to
the higher beginning-of-quarter cash balance partially offset by higher outlays and lower receipts. [1]
During the April – June 2013 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $103 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash
balance of $60 billion.
During the October – December 2012 quarter, Treasury issued $297 billion in net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash
balance of $93 billion. In October 2012, Treasury had estimated $288 billion in net marketable borrowing and assumed an end-ofDecember cash balance of $60 billion. The increase in the cash balance was driven primarily by higher receipts and lower outlays. [1]
