Sri Lanka's Treasuries yields drop

ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka's Treasuries yields dropped at Wednesday's auction with the 6-month yield falling 10 basis points to 8.30 percent, data from the state debt office showed.

The 12-month yield fell 02 basis points to 8.90 percent.

The debt office sold 4.0 billion rupees of 6-month bills after offering 4.0 billion rupees and 8.5 billion rupees of 12-month bills after offering 8.5 billion rupees, raising a total of 12.3 billion rupees.

Selling the exact amount of bills offered is the most transparent way to conduct and auction, but it is not always done in Sri Lanka.
