The U.S. Treasury’s buyback program has generated $34B in savings over 28 months by retiring illiquid securities at discounts to par. Using reverse auctions to target off-the-run issues, the Treasury is improving market liquidity while reducing balance sheet stress for primary dealers. Overall, the program is viewed as a constructive, liquidity-supporting step rather than a catalyst-changing event.
