Treasury bills-June sales

S. Korea to sell 6 tln won in Treasury bills in June

SEOUL, June 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea plans to sell 6 trillion won (US$4.54 billion) worth of Treasury bills this month to fund fiscal spending, the finance ministry said Thursday.

The bills, which have a maturity of 63 days, will be sold in four separate auctions, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Treasury bills are usually floated to raise money to cover short-term financial shortfalls and are generally sold with a maturity of less than a year. The debts should be repaid within the year of issuance.
