Statement By U.S. Department Of The Treasury Assistant Secretary For Economic Policy Jan Eberly For The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee Of The Securities Industry And Financial Markets Association
The economy continued to expand at a moderate pace in early 2012, and labor market conditions improved. The rate of hiring accelerated and the unemployment rate continued to decline, although it remains elevated at 8.2 percent. The improvement in the job market, along with continued moderate growth in consumption, signs of a modest recovery in the housing sector, and strong gains in equity markets have contributed to a somewhat brighter near-term outlook since the beginning of the year. A consensus of private forecasters expects growth to strengthen gradually going forward, although forecasters expect additional progress in reducing the unemployment rate further this year to be limited. Notwithstanding these bright spots, we remain concerned about the potential risks posed by high oil prices, sovereign debt strains in Europe, and the slowdown in global growth more broadly. The Administration has proposed a number of measures to support the U.S. economy in the near term, including providing additional funding for jobs and training programs, further opportunities for underwater mortgage-holders to refinance their loans at lower interest rates, and incentives for small businesses to promote a faster pace of job creation. These short-term initiatives would not jeopardize longer-term efforts to rein in the federal deficit. The federal budget deficit is projected to decline as a share of the economy in FY2012 to 8.5 percent of GDP from 8.7 percent in FY2012, and narrow significantly thereafter to less than 3 percent of GDP by the end of the decade.

U.S. Treasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates
The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of net marketable borrowing for the April - June and July – September 2012 quarters:
During the April - June 2012 quarter, Treasury expects to issue $182 billion in net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $95 billion. This borrowing estimate is $19 billion lower than announced in January 2012. The decrease is primarily due to projections of lower outlays and higher issuances of State and Local Government securities, partially offset by lower receipts.
