Quarterly outlook and issuance calendar fourth quarter 2016
Today, the DSTA published the Quarterly outlook and announced the issuance calendar for the fourth quarter of 2016.
The Quarterly outlook contains an update of the funding plan for this year and the latest economic and budgetary projections. It also contains a first estimate of the funding need for 2017.
The DSL and DTC issuance calendars for the fourth quarter are shown below. Two reopenings of Dutch State Loans (DSLs) are planned in the fourth quarter. The 10-year DSL 2026 will be reopened twice, once in October and once in November. Traditionally, December is an auction-free month for DSLs. The fourth quarter has six auction dates for Dutch Treasury Certificates (DTCs). Following the unexpected strong improvement of the cash position, it has been decided that the March 2017 DTC-programme will not be issued. Further details are given in the Quarterly outlook.
