Speaking on matters of public finance, the Prime Minister today disclosed that Government's US dollar denominated treasury notes haven't sold as well as expected.
The US$30 million dollars offering was launched on June fifth, but only 20 million dollars has been bought up. The PM explained today:
Rt. Hon Dean Barrow- Prime Minister
"Certainly, not the entirety of the $30 million has been subscribed but there is still continuing interest. I don't know that I am telling tales out of school when I reveal that the Government of Taiwan through the embassy has expressed an interest. I don't know if ultimately they will take up any of the balance of the option that is still available but that is a source of interest and there are others."
