T-bills are only awarded in part overall by BTr.
Despite the oversubscription and rate increases on Monday, the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) partially awarded the debt paper after completely rejecting all bids for Treasury notes (T-bills) during the auction last week.
The BTr offered the debt paper for PHP5 billion for each tenor, but only paid PHP2.505 billion, PHP2.1 billion, and PHP2.049 billion for the 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day tenors.
Bids totaled PHP8.3 billion for the three-month paper, PHP7.466 billion for the six-month paper, and PHP5.094 billion for the one-year securities.
The three-month paper had an average rate of 4.22 percent, while the six-month paper had a rate of 4.65 percent.
When it was last granted during the auction on October 10, those percentages—3.819 percent for the 91-day day and 4.415 percent for the 182-day—were higher.
The one-year paper’s average rate increased somewhat from the 3.782 percent it brought during the auction last August 22 to 4.875 percent.
Rosalia de Leon, the national treasurer, attributed this week’s T-bill auction’s increased demand for the debt paper to “banks need(ing) to place funds.”
