Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) - The yield on 10-Year BGTBs is likely to fall today as the banks may express their willingness to invest excess funds in the long-term securities.
The cut off yield, generally known as interest rate, on the BGTBs rose to 12.55 per cent in the immediate past auction from 12.44 per cent earlier.
The government is set to borrow BDT 25 billion through issuing the BGTBs on Tuesday to partially meet its budget deficit.
Currently, five government treasury bonds, with tenures of two, five, 10, 15 and 20 years respectively, are traded on the market.
Besides, four treasury bills (T-bills) are transacted through auction to adjust government borrowings from the banking system. The T-bills have 14-day, 91-day, 182-day and 364-day maturity periods.
