The central bank did not accept any investor bids for 91-day, 182-day and 364-day T-bills. The RBI announced the auction of short-term government securities on February 21.

According to the State Bank of Pakistan, between July 1 and March 14 this fiscal year, inflows into T-bills totalled USD 1.163 billion while outflows stood at USD 1.121 billion, leaving a net balance of just USD 42 million.

The United Kingdom, traditionally Pakistan's largest T-bill investor, had invested USD 710 million during FY25 but withdrew USD 625 million. The United Arab Emirates and the United States recorded outflows of USD 205 million and USD 130 million, respectively.

Britain's Treasury chief Rachel Reeves said Friday that she is not satisfied by official figures showing the British economy's rebound from recession slowed down sharply in the third quarter of the year, with most sectors stagnating. The Office for National Statistics said growth during the July to September period was just 0.1 per cent. That was lower than the 0.5 per cent recorded in the previous three-month period and below market expectations for 0.2 per cent. The statistics agency said overall output in September actually shrank, a development that has further fueled accusations from critics of the new Labour government that its pessimism dragged the economy down in its first few weeks in office. On coming to power in July for the first time in 14 years, the government described its economic inheritance from the former Conservative administration as the bleakest in decades, requiring urgent action to fix the public finances.
