Dhaka, Sept. 8 -- The yields on treasury bills (T-bills) fell slightly on Sunday as banks preferred to invest their excess liquidity in the risk-free securities.

The cut-off yield, generally known as interest rate, on the 91-Day T-bills came down to 10.07 per cent on the day from 10.12 per cent of the previous level while the yield on 182-day T-bills fell to 10.13 per cent on the day from 10.29 per cent earlier.

However, the yield on 364-Day T-bills came down to 10.14 per cent on the day from 10.37 per cent earlier, according to the auction results.

"The government's lower demand for funds, coupled with higher liquidity in some banks, have pushed down T-bill yields," a senior Bangladesh Bank (BB) official told The Financial Express.
