Apply now for Treasury Bills

Individuals and businesses are invited to apply for the Barbados Government Treasury Bills.

These Bills are being issued for a period of 91 and 182 days, and they will be issued on Wednesday, February 28, 2024. They will be payable at par on Wednesday, May 29, and Wednesday, August 28, 2024, respectively.

A non-competitive window has been introduced for individual bidders. This mechanism is optional and will allow individuals to submit a bid for the amount and tenor of Treasury Bills that they wish to purchase, without specifying a tender rate, that is, the amount which will be given for every $100 of the amount tendered.

The minimum bid amount is $1,000. Individuals who opt to utilise the non-competitive window may be allocated the amount tendered at a rate that is the average of the successful competitive bidders.

All other tenders, including individuals who chose not to utilise the non-competitive window, must be for an amount of not less than $1,000 and must specify the amount which will be given for every $100 of the amount tendered.

Application forms are available at the Treasury Department or online at https://treasury.gov.bb/content/forms.  When completed, they should be emailed to treasury.bills@barbados.gov.bb, or forwarded to the Treasury Department in sealed envelopes addressed: Confidential, TREASURY BILL TENDER, The Accountant General, The Treasury Department, 1st Floor NHC Building, Country Road, St. Michael.
