<h1>Government borrowing plan shifts funding to small savings and NSSF, alters maturity mix and issues CPI linked bonds.</h1> The Government finalised its borrowing calendar for H1 of 2018-19, reducing gross G Sec issuance in the period and increasing reliance on Small Savings and higher borrowing from NSSF. It will issue more Floating Rate Bonds and introduce CPI linked bonds to make up ten percent of issuances, introduce two and five year benchmarks, reallocate issuance across short and long maturities, and implement a T Bill programme with a weekly gross borrowing schedule, together with separate switching and sovereign gold bond calendars.
