THE GOVERNMENT partially awarded the Treasury bills it auctioned off on Tuesday, with rates mostly steady from the previous award amid expectations of faster inflation in December.
Broken down, the Treasury raised P5 billion as planned via the 91-day T-bills with tenders reaching P14.65 billion. The average rate of the three-month papers went up by 6.6 basis points to 4.155% from the 4.089% quoted on Dec. 5, with accepted rates ranging from 4.125% to 4.2%. Meanwhile, the BTr raised just P3.65 billion from the 364-day debt papers as demand stood at only P4.655 billion, below the P5 billion on the auction block. The average rate of the one-year T-bill stood at 5.24%, 9 bps higher than the 5.15% fetched for the tenor for the last successful award on Nov. 28. Accepted yields ranged from 5.15% to 5.375%.
National Treasurer Rosalia V. de Leon said in a Viber message to reporters after the auction that the government made a partial award of the 364-day T-bill to align the tenor’s average rate with the secondary market level.
