On Sunday, T-bill yields in Bangladesh showed a mixed trend as banks shifted preference toward longer-tenure securities. The yield on 91-day T-bills rose to 11.65% from 11.54%, while yields on 182-day and 364-day T-bills declined to 11.51% and 11.62%, down from 11.64% each. This shift reflects banks’ anticipation of declining government securities yields in the near future. The government borrowed Tk 75 billion by issuing 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day T-bills to manage its budget deficit. Currently, four T-bill maturities—14-day, 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day—are active, alongside five government bonds ranging from two to 20 years. A central bank official noted that overseas fund inflows are expected to rise by June 2025, potentially easing the pressure on bank borrowing.
