Mechanism for Issuance
A monthly issuance calendar with details of the tenors, auction date and settlement date of the individual weekly issues of Treasury bills is announced to the Malta Stock Exchange and published in the Government Gazette in advance on a monthly basis.
Typically, Treasury Bills are issued on a weekly basis through an auction. Except when it is a public holiday, the Treasury Bills auction is held every Tuesday of the week and the auction settlement date is fixed for the following Friday. The Treasury focuses the issuance on 91-day tenor, which constitutes the money market benchmark, although issues may also include a mix of 28 day, 182 day, 273 day and 364 day Treasury bills.
The closing time for both the Treasury bill auction and settlement is fixed at 10.00 am (CET). Until now, the auction is conducted manually and the allotment of bills is determined by multiple price Dutch auction method. The price payable by each successful bidder is the price tendered in the auction.
Participation in Treasury bill auction in the primary market is open to members of the public and institutional investors irrespective of the residency of the bidder.
