INCREASE IN WEEKLY BOND AUCTION LEVELS



The 2019/20 Budget Review states that the borrowing requirement will be increased and
thus financed primarily through domestic capital markets. Accordingly, the National
Treasury hereby announces that the weekly auction levels for both the fixed-rate and
inflation-linked bond auctions will be increased as follows;

   -   The fixed-rate bond auction amount will increase by R450 million, from
       R2 850 million to R3 300 million.
   -   The inflation-linked bond auction amount will increase by R110 million, from
       R650 million to R760 million.

The increase will be effective for the fixed-rate and inflation-linked bond auctions as of
02 April and 5 April 2019 respectively.
