Treasury Bills
Irish Treasury Bills are zero coupon instruments which normally have maturities at issue of between one and twelve months. The main features of Irish Treasury Bills are set out in the NTMA’s Irish Treasury Bills Information Memorandum (249 KB, PDF format)
Treasury Bills are issued primarily through an auction system. Participation in auctions is limited to recognised primary dealers in Irish Government Bonds and eligible counterparties.
