Government Adjusts TES Auction Rules and Can Double Awarded Amounts in High Demand Scenarios

TL;DR

  • The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit has modified over-allocation clauses for long-term TES auctions in pesos and UVR.
  • These changes will allow the government to significantly increase the amounts placed when there is strong demand for public debt.
  • The new rules, established by Resolution 0946, enable additional allocations of up to 30%, 50%, or 100% based on demand levels exceeding the initially offered amount.
  • This modification aims to provide the government with greater flexibility to capture resources in scenarios of high liquidity or strong investor interest.
  • The adjustments apply specifically to long-term TES placements in Colombian pesos and UVR via auction.
