According to the ABL’s monthly Treasury Bills publication, the face value of the outstanding LBP treasury securities’ portfolio fell by 1.91% in April 2026 to LBP 43,890 billion, down from LBP 44,745 billion a month earlier. Furthermore, and on an annual basis, the outstanding face value of LBP treasury securities dropped by 28.62% (LBP 17,595 billion) when compared to the LBP 61,485 billion reading of April 2025. The continuous drop in the outstanding balance of the treasury securities portfolio may be explained by the Ministry of Finance’s decision in December 2023 to suspend the issuance of new securities. It is worth highlighting that 61.15% of the outstanding treasury securities’ portfolio had a tenor of 120 months as at end of April 2026, followed by the 84-month (20.24%), 60-month (8.31%), 36-month (7.07%), and 180-month (3.23%) tenor securities.
