Highlights of Treasurys May 2017 Quarterly Refunding Presentation
to the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC)

Receipts and Outlays


Fiscal year-to-date, corporate receipts are $25 billion (or 17%) lower than the same period of the previous year, due largely to a statutory
change in the due date for certain corporate taxes, from mid-March to mid-April.
Fiscal year-to-date, outlays related to Health and Human Services (HHS) have increased by $24 billion (or 5%) year-over-year; this
increase was driven by increased Medicare and Medicaid payments.
Fiscal year-to-date, Treasury outlays increased by $24 billion (or 8%) as compared to the same period of the previous year, due largely to
an increase in the inflation adjustment on TIPS.
Fiscal year-to-date, Social Security Administration (SSA) expenditures increased by $13 billion (or 3%) year-over-year, resulting from an
increase in program enrollment.

Sources of Financing in Fiscal Year 2017


Based on the Quarterly Borrowing Estimate, Treasurys Office of Fiscal Projections currently projects a net marketable borrowing need
of $26 billion for Q3 FY 2017, with an end-of-June cash balance of $200 billion. For Q4 FY 2017, net marketable borrowing need is
projected to be $98 billion, with an end-of-September cash balance of $115 billion.

Projected Net Marketable Borrowing


Between FY 2017 and 2019 Treasurys net marketable borrowing could rise notably if the Federal Reserve allows the Treasury securities
held in the SOMA portfolio to mature without reinvesting.
As of the January 2017 Survey of Primary Dealers, the median expectation was for SOMA reinvestments to continue until June 2018.

Bid-to-Cover Ratios (BTC)


BTC ratios for all securities were stable over the January to March period.
