The Government will not proceed with next week’s Ultra-Long bond auction

The Government of Canada announced today that its criteria for ultra-long bond issuance were not met and as a result, the Government will not be issuing ultra-long bonds this quarter. Ultra-long bond issuance remains a tactical funding measure and is not part of the regular bond program. As indicated in the Quarterly Bond Schedule, the date listed represents a possibility but not a commitment to hold an ultra-long bond auction.
