Treasury tests Canada style debt plan to ease old bonds
The Treasury seeks to roll over maturing debt by offering new 3 percent notes and 3 percent bonds, swapping about 11 billion in 2 percent bonds for up to 5 billion in higher-yield issues and extending payment dates to ease next year’s refunding.
