The third quarter has the regular six auction dates for Dutch Treasury Certificates

(DTCs). In response to market demand and due to a decreasing funding need, the December DTC-programme will not be issued. By cancelling the December programme, the DSTA aims to concentrate issuance in the remaining DTC-programmes, thereby enhancing liquidity. The quarter will start with the issue of the new January 2018 DTC-programme, which will be reopened again in August and subsequently in the fourth quarter.
