Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underexamined art and science of managing the federal government's huge debt. Everyone talks about the size of the U.S. national debt, now at $13 trillion and climbing, but few talk about how the U.S. Treasury does the borrowing—even though it is one of the world's largest borrowers. Everyone from bond traders to the home-buying public is affected by the Treasury's decisions about whether to borrow short or long term and what types of bonds to sell to investors. What is the best way for the Treasury to finance the government's huge debt? Harvard's Robin Greenwood, Sam Hanson, Joshua Rudolph, and Larry Summers argue that the Treasury could save taxpayers money and help the economy by borrowing more short term and less long term. They also argue that the Treasury and the Federal Reserve made a huge mistake in recent years by rowing in opposite directions: while the Fed was buying long-term bonds to push investors into other assets, the Treasury was doing the opposite—selling investors more long-term bonds. This book includes responses from a variety of public and private sector experts on how the Treasury does its borrowing, some of whom have criticized the way the Treasury has been managing its borrowing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1980's, many OECD governments have invested heavily in improving the quality of their debt management practices. In recent years, the topic has received additional attention for its potential role in reducing the vulnerability of emerging economies to financial and economic shocks. A government asset and liability management framework can offer valuable conceptual insights for managing the risks associated with government debt portfolios and their interface with a wide range of public policy issues. Prudent risk management requires clear objectives or debt managers, sound institutional and legal framework, appropriate quality assurance procedures and checks and balances, and efficient management information systems. This report draws from the experiences of leading countries in this field.

This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s, U.S. Treasury (UST) officials revised the framework within which they selected the maturities of new notes & bonds. Previously, they chose maturities on an offering-by-offering basis. By 1982, the UST had ceased these ¿tactical¿ sales & was selling notes & bonds on a ¿regular & predictable¿ schedule. This article describes that key change in the TST¿s debt mgmt. strategy. In 1975, UST officials financed an unusually rapid expansion of the fed. deficit with a flurry of tactical offerings. Because the timing & maturities of the offerings followed no predictable pattern, the sales sometimes took investors by surprise, disrupting the market. These events led UST officials to embrace a program of regular & predictable issuance. Tables.
