According to the ABL’s monthly Treasury Bills publication, the face value of the outstanding LBP treasury securities’ portfolio fell by 1.55% in August 2026 to LBP 39,044 billion, down from LBP 39,659 billion a month earlier. Furthermore, and on an annual basis, the outstanding face value of LBP treasury securities dropped by 28.46% (LBP 15,533 billion) when compared to the outstanding balance of LBP 54,577 billion at end of August 2025. The continuous drop in the residual balance of the treasury securities portfolio is explained by the Ministry of Finance’s decision in December 2023 to suspend the issuance of new securities. It is worth highlighting that as at August 2026, 63.40% of the remaining treasury securities’ portfolio had a tenor of 120 months, and was followed by the 84-month (21.82%), 36-month (7.94%), 180-month (3.63%), and 60-month (3.21%) tenor securities.

As to the projected maturities of LBP treasury securities, those maturing in 2026 constitute the lion’s share (34.7%) of the maturity spectrum of LBP treasury securities having a face value of LBP 16,610 billion of which LBP 8,803 billion have arrived to maturity in the first eight months of the year, followed by treasury instruments that mature in 2029 (19.2%) with a total face value of LBP 9,174 billion, securities that arrive to maturity in 2028 (17.1%; LBP 8,181 billion), and those that mature in 2027 (15.0%; LBP 7,196 billion), only to name a few.
