According to a schedule of the short-term paper auctions released by the central bank on Friday, the government would raise Rs5.700 trillion from these sales.
T-bills worth Rs5.707 trillion will maturity between February and April.
The government will be able to borrow Rs1.020 trillion through the issue of Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs) with fixed and adjustable rates.
