The cut-off yields for 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month T-bills saw a decline of 29, 29, and 5 basis points to stand at 14.5%, 14.7%, and 14.75%, respectively.

The market had offered Rs1,008bn, out of which the government accepted bids amounting to Rs351bn.

SBP received bids worth Rs562bn for 3-month T-bills, Rs211bn for 6-month, and Rs234bn for 12-month.

The total amount raised for 3-month T-bills was Rs234.8bn, Rs59.9bn for 6-month, and Rs56.1bn for 12-month T-bills.
