Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) - The yield on 364-Day Treasury Bills (T-bills) fell slightly while other two-type of T-bills remained unchanged as banks may express unwillingness to invest their excess liquidity in the short-term securities.
The cut off yield, generally known as interest rate, on the 91-Day T-bills remained unchanged at 11.65 per cent on the day from the previous level while the yield on 182-Day T-bills was stay at 11.80 per cent from the earlier.
The yield on 364-Day T-bills came down to 11.95 per cent on the day from 12.00 of the previous level, according to the central bank’s auctions result.
The government borrowed more than BDT 75.82 billion against the pre-auction targeted amount of BDT 80 billion through issuing the T-bills on the day to partially meet its budget deficit.
Currently, four 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.
The bills are short-term investment tools issued through auction, conducted by the central bank on behalf of the government.
Furthermore, five government bonds, with tenures of two, five, 10, 15 and 20 years respectively, are traded on the market.
