The Bureau of Treasury (BTr) revealed over the weekend that the initial book-building process had generated over P16-billion worth of pledges, indicating that the market was eager for the government to increase the volume.

                    [Summary] => The government is planning to issue another P3 billion worth of dollar-denominated peso notes (DLPNs) in the first quarter of 2003 as part of its plan to raise a total of P59.5 billion from Treasury bills and Treasury bonds. 


The Bureau of Treasury revealed over the weekend that, judging from the success of last week’s DLPN float, there is enough leftover demand for the notes in the first quarter.

Pricing for the notes is scheduled today but market sources disclosed  that banks were looking at a coupon rate of roughly six  percent. Settlement is scheduled on Thursday. 


The issue was approved by the Monetary Board (MB) last week to help the government fund its budget deficit which is seen at P223 billion for the whole of 2002.
