Govt Raises Rs. 877 Billion Through Treasury Bills

Description:

Cut-off yields on Treasury Bills (T-Bills) fell by 24-26 basis points (bps) in the paper"s auction held on Wednesday.

According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the government raised Rs. 877 billion against the original target of Rs. 650 billion in the auction due to the unchanged central bank interest rate.

Investors bought government bonds at a lower yield than in the previous auction due to lower-than-expected inflation data and forecasts of an unchanged key rate.
