U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Treasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates
May 2, 2022

Sources and Uses Table
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates
of privately-held net marketable borrowing[ 1] for the April – June 2022 and July – September
2022 quarters.[ 2]
During the April – June 2022 quarter, Treasury expects to pay down $26 billion in privatelyheld net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $800 billion.[3] The
borrowing estimate is $92 billion lower than announced in January 2022, primarily due to
an increase in receipts, partially o set by increases in outlays and the end-of-June cash
balance.
During the July – September 2022 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $182 billion in
privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $650
billion.
During the January – March 2022 quarter, Treasury borrowed $668 billion in privately-held net
marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $652 billion. In January 2022,
Treasury estimated privately-held net marketable borrowing of $729 billion and assumed an
end-of-March cash balance of $650 billion. The $62 billion decrease in borrowing resulted
primarily from an increase in receipts and, to a lesser extent, from a decrease in expenditures.
Additional financing details relating to Treasuryʼs Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30
a.m. on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.

[1] Privately-held net marketable borrowing excludes rollovers (auction “add-ons”) of
Treasury securities held in the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account (SOMA) but
includes financing required due to SOMA redemptions. Secondary market purchases of
Treasury securities by SOMA do not directly change net privately-held marketable borrowing

but, all else equal, when the securities mature and assuming the Fed does not redeem any
maturing securities, would increase the amount of cash raised for a given privately-held
auction size by increasing the SOMA “add-on” amount.
[2] These borrowing estimates are based upon current law and also do not include any
assumptions for SOMA redemptions, pending a final decision and announcement by the
Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Privately-held net marketable borrowing needs
would increase from todayʼs estimates commensurate with any SOMA redemptions of
Treasury securities.
