There may be a need to address concerns about potential conflicts of public debt management with monetary policy, in particular when the government issues short-term bills (e.g. for cash management purposes). In fact, a vital element in conducting effective monetary policy is detailed knowledge about and predictability of government cash flows, that affect bank's reserve balances (similarly: as open market operations). Moreover, government debt and cash management should be coordinated with monetary policy by moderating the effect of government expenditures and receipts on the bank's cash balances and by keeping the central bank informed of government cash flows.
This policy area focuses on the question how best to develop markets at the short end and how to secure a proper co-ordination among the different authorities. It will also be explained how these issues are linked to the overall issuance strategy of the government.
