Australia’s budget balance
                                                   Underlying cash balance per cent of GDP
The underlying cash balance (UCB) in 2020-21 was a deficit of 6.5 per cent of GDP (Budget 2021-22 forecast was 7.8 per cent). The deficit in 2021-22 is
expected to be 4.5 percent compared to 5 per cent forecast at Budget 2021-22. This improvement has occurred despite the COVID Delta variant
lockdowns in early 2021-22. The deficit is expected to improve across the forward estimates to 2.3 per cent of GDP in 2024-25.

The Australian Government entered the pandemic with the budget in balance and is managing the impact of the pandemic from the position of
having started the task with a strong balance sheet. Post-crisis, the balance sheet position is forecast to continue exhibiting relatively low net debt
by global standards (see Charts 3 and 4).

Australia’s net debt position
Net debt is forecast to be 30.6 per cent of GDP at end of 2021-22 (light blue bar) and is expected to peak at 37.4 per cent of GDP at the end
of 2024-25, below the 40.9 per cent peak estimated at the 2021-22 Budget. Although net debt has increased since the onset of the
pandemic, net interest payments are expected to remain low (0.7 per cent of GDP over the forward estimates).

Further information

   Issuance of Treasury Bonds for 2021-22 has been revised to around $105 billion (of which $44.3 billion has been completed as of 7 January 2022).
   A new November 2033 Treasury Bond will be issued by syndication in the final quarter of 2021-22 (subject to market conditions).
   Planned issuance of Treasury Indexed Bonds is $5-5.5 billion (of which $4.1 billion has been completed). Two tenders will be held most months.
   Regular issuance of Treasury Notes will continue. Weekly issuance volumes will depend on the timing and size of government receipts and outlays
    and the AOFM’s assessment of its cash portfolio requirements.

    Note: Figures are as at 7 January 2022. Amount shown for Treasury Indexed Bonds is based upon the face value of the bonds outstanding unadjusted for changes in the CPI.

Treasury Bond curve
Over the last ten years the AOFM has gradually lengthened the Treasury Bond yield curve to 30 years and increased the average term to maturity
of the portfolio. That process is broadly complete, with the AOFM focused on maintaining the 30-year benchmark and continuing to support
ultra-long maturities through issuance into existing lines.

The AOFM will continue to use the most liquid (high-demand) parts of the yield curve to support the bulk of planned issuance, while
supporting other parts of the market by responding to demand and issuing in appropriate volumes. A new November 2033 Treasury Bond will
be issued by syndication in the final quarter of 2021-22 (subject to market conditions).

Turnover – Treasury Bonds
              Liquidity in the AGS market remains supportive – particularly around the 3- and 10-year futures baskets. Trading between AGS
              intermediaries is strong which provides confidence to support investors when banks need to ‘short’ lines to provide liquidity.

Shift in investor holdings of Australian government bonds
      Since the RBA commenced its broad bond purchase program in late 2020, ADIs have reduced Treasury Bond holdings to the greatest extent, either
      by participating directly in RBA tenders or indirectly via intermediaries. In contrast non-resident holdings have fallen only marginally in outright terms
      (since late 2020), although this is more complex to understand given the influences of foreign exchange and cross-sovereign market yield variations.
