Auctioning Treasury Securities

Download pdf

The U.S. Treasury expects to sell about a trillion dollars of new securities this fiscal year to finance a projected $400 billion budget deficit and to refinance maturing debt. Most of the securities will be issued through public auctions, where competition among bidders might be expected to minimize interest payments on the debt.
