Treasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of marketable borrowing for the April - June 2009 and July – September 2009 quarters:

During the April – June 2009 quarter.

• Treasury expects to borrow $361 billion of marketable debt,
• assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $245 billion,
• which includes $200 billion for the Supplementary Financing Program (SFP).
• The borrowing estimate is $196 billion higher than announced in February 2009. The increase in borrowing is primarily related to a continuation of the SFP, and lower receipts and outlays.

During the July – September quarter.

• Treasury expects to borrow $515 billion of marketable debt,
• assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $270 billion,
• which includes $200 billion for the SFP.
