During the October – December 2021 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $703 billion in privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $800 billion.[3] Treasury estimated privately-held net marketable borrowing of $463 billion and assumed an end-of-June cash balance of $800 billion. The $143 billion decrease in borrowing resulted primarily from an increase in receipts and a decrease in expenditures, somewhat o set by the increase in the end-of-June cash balance.[4] Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2021. ### During the April – June 2021 quarter, Treasury borrowed $319 billion in privately-held net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $852 billion.

[2] These borrowing estimates are based upon current law and do not include any assumptions for the impact of additional legislation that may be passed.
