The US Treasury Department will maintain the volume of placement of long-term government bonds in the coming months, and will offer investors $125 billion worth of securities, writes the Wall Street Journal. Of this amount, the department will use approximately $97 billion to refinance the debt, and the remaining $28 billion will be raised in the form of new funds. In addition, the Ministry of Finance intends to change the structure of the seven-year bond issuance, and move them from a monthly deposit schedule to a quarterly one.
