The Australian Office of Financial Management’s CEO Robert Nicholl has downplayed the fact that investors did not fully support a new issuance of Treasury notes. The AOFM attracted bids totalling $936m for a $1bn issuance of Treasury Notes that will mature on 24 January 2020. Nicholl notes that demand for short-term debt instruments such as Treasury Notes can vary significantly, adding that the shortfall will not be a concern for the federal government unless it becomes a regular occurrence.
