UK DMO UPDATE: "Programmatic gilt tenders" to be introduced for off-the-run gilt
Mar-26 13:27
- The DMO's remit notes that:
- "The DMO will be introducing programmatic gilt tenders in 2025-26 to assist with the delivery of the financing remit. It is envisaged that these operations will typically involve the sale of "off-the-run" gilts. The DMO will announce the planned dates of these gilt tender operations as part of its quarterly gilt issuance calendar and will typically include the type and maturity sector (for conventional gilts) of the gilt to be tendered in each case, taking into account market feedback both ahead of each quarter and, with respect to the identity of the gilt to be issued, closer to each tender date. Market participants will be consulted on the identity of the gilt and the maximum size to be offered at each individual gilt tender ahead of the planned gilt tender date. The gilt, nominal size, and scheduled tender date will typically be confirmed at least two business days prior to the planned tender date."
- We assume that this is the main reason behind the larger unallocated bucket.
- But what it means is there is actually LESS certainty that the unallocated bucket will end up in mediums / longs.
- Note that in the current fiscal year, the DMO held three tenders for the 0.125% Jan-26 gilt.This kind of operation may become more common if there is market demand.
- So shorts could actually end up being larger than announced here.
- We will know more on how the DMO plans to run this in the consultation agenda which is due out at 15:30GMT.
