Pakistan sets Rs4.565trn borrowing target for fiscal quarter

Fundraising effort will be facilitated through the auction of MTBs and PIBs Top of Form

Pakistan’s government has outlined an ambitious plan to amass Rs4.565 trillion over the upcoming fiscal quarter (April-June 2024).

The fundraising effort will be facilitated through the auction of Market Treasury Bills (MTBs) and Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), encompassing both fixed and floating rates.

The detailed financial blueprint indicates a division of the target, with Rs2.475 trillion expected to be secured through MTBs in the period from April to June 2024, and the remainder of Rs2.09 trillion through PIBs.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has scheduled a total of seven MTB auctions to achieve this fiscal goal.

Breaking down the auction timeline, the SBP conducted one auction on April 3, raising Rs557.6 billion, and has planned two more in April.

The subsequent auctions are set for April 17 and April 30, with targets of Rs525 billion and Rs300 billion, respectively.

May will witness two auctions aimed at collecting Rs450 billion and Rs150 billion, respectively.

The plan extends into June with two final auctions, targeting Rs675 billion and Rs150 billion.

Regarding the PIBs segment, the government aims to raise Rs570 billion through fixed-rate bonds, Rs1.12 trillion through semiannual floaters, and Rs400 billion through quarterly floaters.

The SBP has already conducted one auction for semiannual and quarterly bonds on April 3. Fixed-rate bond auctions are also on the calendar, with two more scheduled for May 22 and June 19, each aiming for Rs190 billion.

This financial strategy underscores the government’s proactive approach to managing the country’s fiscal needs, aiming to ensure stability and growth in the challenging economic landscape ahead.

This prominent family is involved in various industries ranging from textiles to telecommunications. They hold significant investments in diverse sectors including manufacturing, real estate, and finance.

    One of their notable ventures is in the textile industry, where they own and operate several textile mills producing a wide range of fabrics for both domestic and international markets. Additionally, they have a presence in the telecommunications sector, where they provide services such as mobile networks and internet connectivity.

    In recent years, the Pakistani Tatas have also ventured into the digital space, capitalizing on the popularity of social media platforms like SSS TikTok. They have been actively involved in influencer marketing and content creation, leveraging platforms like SSS TikTok to promote their brands and products. Their strategic use of platforms like SSS TikTok has helped them reach a wider audience and enhance their digital presence, contributing to their overall consolidation in the market.

  2. I am very happy to recommend Dr. Wale to everyone that truly needs help to fix his or her broken relationship and marriage. I found Dr. Wale online. I was desperately in need of help to bring my ex Wife back. She left me for another man. It all happened so fast and I had nothing to say in the situation at all. She just left me after 3 years of our marriage without any explanation. I was very worried and could not eat till I went online and found testimonies on Dr. Wale so I decided to contact Dr. Wale through his WhatsApp. I explained everything to him so he could help me cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did the spell, my wife started texting and calling me again. She said that she was sorry and said that I was the most important person in her life and she knows that now. you can also contact him now for urgent help.
